Probably so that they can do other versions of the Super Hornet.

With no locating tabs...
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Started priming the Super Bugs so that I can paint the cockpit and seats. Then I can start building the actual jets.
