well i think i will do one of each. and maybe a g if thier out in time
vfa-11 f-18-e
vfa-?? f-18-f[:D][:D]
so you want a little color for the wat if builds? how this f-18c i did for the swedish gb a few months ago
Actually, I played with it just after I posted using Microsoft Picture-It and it looks OK sized to the 65 pixel height.
Well, as author, i am somewhat biased, but i must agree that of the original 16 options that i gave to John, it has to be either #1 or #3 for me, and i’m leaning towards 3.
bstrump, i created them with an ideal size of 105x70, hence the 525x350 original size … didn’t realise that it was supposed to be 65 height, but they should still scale quite well.
I’d like too join!I have not bought a kit yet but i’ll get one later.
Badge #3 all the way!
Welcome aboard willjanuary.
Apparently I’m surrounded by a bunch of “F” fanatics…[:D]
Hopefully I’ll have some “E” supporters by January.
Heck, at the is rate if Revell have released their 1/48 F kit in time I might even go over to the dark side and build an F instead of an E…[:-^]
Ok then badge 3 it is, you can find it here:

John,
I do have the “E” kit as well from Hasegawa, so I guess that you could sign me up for both, I’ll build them together, most likely OOB.
So there is another E type for you!!!

Thanks guys [:I]
Sounds greta to me Karl! Count me in for a Hasegawa 1/48 ‘F’ as a “what if” VX-4 F-18F armed with AIM-54 Phoenix on the inboard pylons! This is going to be cool![tup]
welcome aboard A6EFan.
Are you going to use the BOL rails from a F-14 kit or scratchbuild the rails for the phoenix missiles? Either way I can’t wait to see it.
After a discussion over at ARC I’ve been toying with the idea of doing a F model with the VX-9 Black Bunny markings one day.
Hi Karl. Yes I’ll be using the rails from the F-14 kit. Can’t wait to get this baby going![tup]
whose Karl?
Opps, I meant John. Sorry.
Hi all
Thought I would add something to “bump” the thread up the listing to get some advertising going.[:-^]
Received the 1/48 RoG E kit as well on Tuesday, so now I 2 superbug kits. The decal sheet is made by DACO and features 4 different markings. 1x hi-vis VX-9, 3x lo-vis for VFA-143, VFA-27 and VFA-137.
Just waiting for my aeromaster VF-115 sheet to arrive and then I’m set. Planning to build the CAG bird armed with 4x JDAMs as they flew in the Middle East.
How is everybody else doing on the “gathering” side of things?
All that I am waiting on is the start date and my bench to clear up. Cant wait to do these kits, been on a bit of a WWII binge lately.
i am all most ready i am waiting for 2 bobs to release some decals for the f-18 other than that i am ready to build. all most got the candain f-18 done for their gb and only other gb i still have to do is the f4 for the arc site when that is done my bench is clear [:D][:D]
Trying to complete my spitfire for the WWII GB. As simple as the kit is just haven’t had the time or the motivation. Must do the BF-109 before January as well but its cammo scares the living daylights out of me.
Might attempt a 2nd entry into the Attack Helo GB and I’m striving the finish my Strike Eagle that I started ages ago.
On the brightside, my new Badger 360 has arrived so now I have some motivation again.
As for our GB, TwoBobs are releasing a lot of decal sheets for CAG birds for those who are interested. Dunno when the lo-viz sheets are coming out. Haven’t seen any new resin cockpits etc in /148 yet, sorry guys don’t follow 1/72 stuff.
Do you think we should pool all our reference websites together? Maybe put all the links on the first page or something?
Let me know what you think.
John
John,
The pooling of website/ resourse stuff sounds like a great idea to me, since all the references that I have consist of pictures that I have found on sites like
www.patricksaviation.com
and the like.
Sorry had to fix the website address had it wrong the first time.
man are these leading edgeg decals giving me a fit 2night. they just dont want to lay down. i will have this f-18 c hornet done real soon for the canadain gb. hey john seen you crusing around on the arc site 2night. their a bucnh of great guys on that one an same here on fsm . both sites will helpe a modeler out.[:D][:D]
