Meng 1/48 EA-18 Growler

Got this kit yesterday, looked pretty nice. My second ever meng kit, my first meng aircraft. So far it’s been pretty good, a few minor fit issues. Has some very nice detail, possibly better than tamiya. done with the cockpit, painted the landing gear bays

I have been somewhat working on it in the past few days, although not a lot of progress. Hopefully get it primed and painted sometime this week, though might not as i gotta study for finals. Should be completely done by the end of the year though.

I’m going to work on my F/A-18F soon as well. Let me know what you think and if there are any pitfalls I should watch out for.

Thank you,it’s a pretty well engineered kit,I found getting those intakes in was a little tight,but no sanding was needed.
You need to pay attention to your options,flaps up or down,leading edges extended or not,need to decide your weapons and pod choices.
