Hi,

I was looking for some decent kits for some Hornet's versions:

F/A-18 A // B // C and EA-18 G ( all 1:72 )

Since I'm coming back slowly to Aircraft building I'm looking for some decent builds with good fitting .. I had my share of A-model & Eastern Express kits ...

All these brands have a wide range of kits & versions Academy, Tamyia, Hasegawa, Fujimi, Italeri, Revell but I wanted to know a bit more about differences or issues between them, some good advice from members who have been building aircraft on a regular basis

Thanks for your input !

My bet is Academy for the legacy hornets F/A-18 A / C / D (for the B You will need some crosskitting - D+some A parts- or scratch) and Hasegawa for the super bees, but the EA-18 G has some minor flaws in the shape of the attack edge on the wings (you get the E/F wings that are slightly different from the G)

I'vhe hcked the instruction sheets of the Growler, and Hase provide you a part to get the riht shape

Academy for the A & C/D versions and Hasegawa for the G.
There is no B version available ? I'll have to scratch from other versions ?

Basically for the B, you will need a D with an A "tails"

Thanks for the info Alvaro !

I just found some A & B versions, soon the postman will deliver them. I'll let you know how that goes

Ok !
