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).

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. :cold:
