Hello Neil,
Here is a link that will answer questions 1&2...

F-18 page

Just look through the links and you'll find many useful products, reviews and builds.

Question 3...Carrier Air Group.

I also have a Hasegawa F-18 but haven't built it yet, I have built their F-16C and had no problems at all....well engineered kits.

Happy Modeling,
Joe S.

The link I put up didn’t set up, so look just under the Google search bar and you’ll see this below.

Search the Web O Search www.aircraftresourcecenter.com O

Click on the AirCraft Resource Center and the click search, the rigth page will open up.

There is a very good DVD on building the F-18F. Spruebrothers.com has it in stock from time to time. It is put out by Promodeller. If it is out of stock you can order direct. www.promodeller.com. Aires makes the seats separately. Avinox makes cockpit sets, but they are a lot of work to install..Eduard has a lot of photo etch for it. Have the same kit myself. HTH

Commander, Air Group, or CAG, refers to the Commander of the Air Wing aboard an aircraft carrier of the U.S. Navy.
