Jeremy Wiltcher FINALLY!! after pre-ordering and paying for it in 2016, and watching it change due dates or disappearing for the new release lists altogether, I finally have it....... Now of course it will sit in the stash for 3 more years!! So thanks to everyone at MRS Hobbies (my local shop) for all they do and for calling me as soon as it came in..
Ben Schumacher Of course it makes sense - I have had it my hands several times, I have seen it built up and several build reports clearly show the issues this kit has.
And I love that kind of people who are comparing new tool kits from this year, with kits from 2010!
The Trumpeter Hornet is almost ten years old, which is a lot when you see how this hobby has evolved over the last few years!!!
And then comes Revell in 2019 with a kit around the corner, where there instruction tells you to remove flesh... Please what? And that has nothing to do with rivetcounting!
If Special Hobby tells you that, sure ok they are a smaller company and are offering more shurt run stuff (if something like that still exists to day) and then you have big companies like Revell, where I expect something better in the end!
By the way, Revell has repeatedly postponed the Hornet to revise the mistakes!!
Treehugger Let's save some for other threads. Good luck with your F-18 build. Such large model should be such a nice display piece.

Mel06 Guys, a question for those who have assembled this kit ... this super hornet at 1.32 how is the mold) I mean the lace, fit well or should we have putty ready?
Calvin Gifford Konrad - no. I was never a pilot. I was a Navy Aircraft Electrician. Was a Plane Captain on A-7's and worked on & maintained F/A-18 Hornets and Super Hornets until my retirement 4 years ago.

Konrad Limmer Thank you Calvin that is very interesting! So you have excellent references for a Super Hornet build! I'm looking forward to see your build!
Calvin Gifford The kit has not yet been released. I have added it to my 'wishlist'.

Clifford Keesler I did not think it was out yet, that is why I asked. It's on mine also.
