Top notch work Barry. The F-18 looks superb finish. At one stage the tail fin decals looked ‘in the balance’ but you’ve negotiated those pitfalls with great skill.
Great work
Paul

Very nice. Do the kits ever come with pilot or can you buy separate?
I’m thinking of trying a plane (not a prop) after this car is done.

Thinking of a Tornado GR.1 ( https://www.scalemodelshop.co.uk/product/1-32-tornado-gr-mk-1-raf-gulf-war-revell-03892 ) or a Buccaneer in Desert Shield/Storm livery. I do like this F/A 18 though. But want to keep to something British.
However, Blue Angels F/A 18 does appeal to me (plus you don't have to do ordinance lol).
