Sambowlambow99 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I've been trying to find a good F/A-18 C in 1/48 scale, but I have no idea what brand or kit to buy. Also, does anyone know of any VMFA 251 decals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwinism Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I've always found the Hasegawa 1/48 F/A18-C to be a good model - expensive though. MAW Decals do 1/48th VMFA 251 decals - http://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/decals/maw/decal_maw_48002.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Av8fan Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 The Kinetic kit may be an option*IF* it is as nice as their SU-33. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234985425-148-kinetic-fa-18a-new-tool-announced/page-2 Might be worth waiting for a few reviews to come out first?

Sambowlambow99 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Thank you for the recommendation, but the decals are not the markings I'm looking for. I'm looking for something more like this. http://www.aviationgraphic.com/89-198-thickbox/f-a-18c-vmfa-251-thunderbolts-ab-407-tc-205.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon J Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Over on Hyperscale there is an in box review of the new Kinetic 1/48 F/A-18C kit and it looks superb. Does anyone know what other variants Kinetic plan to release of this aircraft? Might we expect to see an F/A-18A variant or a two seat one in the coming months?

Stephen Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Kinetic have already said they will release a CF-18 and a two seater (B/D) is a given as the cockpit tub is already in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
