Italeri 1/72 F/A-18 Hornet "Blue Angels"


Recommended Posts

This is my attempt at this kit. I was just finished when disaster struck, I spilt glue on her. So a lot of remedial work had to be done, still it is finished so hope you like. As usual all comments and suggestions welcome.

Turned out beautifully, superb gloss finish and no signs of the glue accident. :goodjob:

Is the Italeri F-18 a good kit?

Cheers

Thanks Dann. I have Academy's F-18C and D in the stash and Revell's F on the way, but am always looking for other options.

Cheers

She looks every bit a Blue Angel. Sorry to hear of the glue incident, that is worse than me picking up the ultra thin cement instead of the decal softener. Hope you get it fixed
