Man, you got this.
That is one of the reasons I rarely do any more Hornets. I've never found a kit that didn't have all manner of fit issues that were so difficult to clear up. At least I do have a Canadian one and Australian one and several US Navy ones done so far.
You know, now that I think about it, there's really no easy way to do a Legacy or Super Hornet easily. Even the Kinetic kit has issues. But since I love me some Hornets, I gots to build them!

My disaster with The Franken-Emil’s resin cockpit still stings. So all that is to say I got a Texas-sized TEN-FOUR good buddy on the test fitting. Do it, DO EEET. Shoot man, carve out a ten hour block of modeling time just to test fit if you have to, it’s just best practices. And good on you for not rushing.

You need to get some of the newer Hasegawa or Meng ordnance sets for current type things that go boom.

I had gotten one of the Meng sets and did not like it. The plastic is super soft and it ruins the weapons cleaning them up. I have plenty of weapons for the Hornets but would like more drop tanks.

Ahhhhh... I bet somebody makes drop tanks AM... resin probably.
