This next build is the Revell 1/48 F/A-18E Super Hornet. For this build I will be using the Eduard cockpit detail set, a QuickBoost resin ejection seat, and Ares resin exhaust. The scheme I have chosen to do is VFA-37. The decal set is from Furball Decals for CVW-8 in 2017. The squadron was actually flying F/A-18C’s at the time and transitioned to the F/A-18E in 2018. However since I served with VA-37 (with A-7E’s) in the 1980’s and the squadron designation changed to VFA-37 when they went to the F/A-18’s, I am using the 2017 scheme on this Super Hornet to honor my squadron. So far I have completed the cockpit and am currently working on the intakes. These have a poor fit to the fuselage and will require a lot of work to get them correctly installed.
Check out all the photos and details from start to finish in my build log at 1/48 F/A-18E Super Hornet from VFA-37
I missed the finish of the Hornet with B-25s on deck????
