I recently aquired an old Revell 1/32 F-18A kit I want to convert to an F/A-18C. Does anyone know where I can these parts:

set of two 1/32 F-18C vert stabs,
two ALQ-165 fairings (small).
two more ALQ-165 fairings (large).
two AOA transmitter fairings,
two strobe light fairings (behind canopy)
4 1/32 F-18 weapons pylons?

If you know where I can locate these parts please let me know. Academy F/A-18C or D parts would be great. There are no aftermarket conversion kits available for this.

Any help or infomation would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

DANG! Looks like I’ll have to build it as is [#dots]

Unless someone has a trashed Academy kit they want to get rid of, don’t know where you’re going to get the all pieces you’re asking for.

Sounds like a good scratch-building opportunity to me.

Just picked up the same kit a month ago, but am building it up as a Blue Angel, which makes things a lot easier.

I have the Academy f-18C and I’m converting to an A. I have your tail for sure. I’m not positive about a few of the other items. (not sure what they all are exactly) Like is one of those transmitter fairings the five bars that go on the nose? I know I’m not using those.

Why don’t you PM me and we’ll talk about it? [:)]

PM Incoming!

Max,

Yes, the other parts are the bulged and pointed fairings that go on the nose and behind the canopy and I definately want the tail vert stabs.

Thanks!
