Gene K Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Interesting marketing in that some of the former Multicolor Plastic (MCP) kits like the F-4 and F-16, now appear in the catalog as "regular" kits. In that regard, assuming the F/A-18E is the F/A-18F MCP kit with single seat parts, it is listed as a regular" kit. (realizing that the catalog listing may not reflect the actual packaging).

Uncle Dick Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Darn it - only Italeri give you option to pose the spoilers deployed and Italeri is the most inaccurate tooling of the bunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantome Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I have a bad feeling it has a one-piece canopy (does not seem to be a seam between the two parts) I just don't. get. it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngstROM Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I was looking forward to this one -the plastic is a snap-tite right enough, but I can use the decals! It came up on Hannants' news letter today at £24.00. It's also on eBay for £25 (but free shipping). Seriously? For this toy-like object? You can get a Hasegawa one for £21.00!!! Not sure it will score too well this side of the Pacific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_c67 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 But so was the their F-4 and that went down a storm. Not sure on the price, but it looks nice enough to my untrained eye. Look forward to the reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
