Does anyone know of a detail set for a Hasagewa 1/48 FA-18?

Hello Greg,
Yeah there's a ton of resin, PE, decals and other aftermarket sets out from companies like Verlinden, Eduard, Aires and so on.

Here's a link that will get you started.

Here is Eduard's PE set... F/A-18

I'd suggest checking out on-line shops and use there search function typing "F/A-18"

Good luck with your search and looking forward seeing your project.
Happy Modeling,
Joe

Here is a couple of links from companies I've ordered from many times.

These are both in the U.S. and have pretty much anything you could want, from ejections seats to detailed resin engines to decals.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Joe. I will check out the links. I've been doing some looking and come up with a couple of ideas. Thinking about Hasegawa's 1/48th FA-18 and doing a carrier deck diorama around it. Still in the planning and plotting stage.

thanks Like I told Joe I am still in the planning and plotting stage. Its been a couple of years since I've done any serious work but been having an itch and just got to scratch it.
