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

The nose isn't that bad once you figure out how to put it together.

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

DISCLAIMER!!!!!

Since I'm doing these OOB, they will not be accurate. The Revell kits have the old style (early block) Environmental Control System exhausts (first pic). They now all have the bard stacks (second pic). There is resin replacements for these but I don't want to do them as I'm trying to keep it simple. So rivet counters can kiss my........ :tease:
