Thanks Ajay! I'm very happy with how it turned out. Definitely one of the best I've done...

We'll have to see if/when inspiration strikes. A warbird would be cool. Maybe a P-51, F4U, or A-1J/H perhaps. Building the F-18 definitely tried my patience and I have to admit I have not been tempted to even think about starting another one...

Not bad for a Revell kit. I tend to stick to Tamiya or Italeri for aircraft when I can due to their fit and finish in the lower cost range and not having nearly enough funds to go with the HK Models or SWS brands. Revell has always been a pain in the ass brand of model kits for me and nearly every time needs to have lots of model putty and sand paper in order to make what should be nice easy fits of crucial areas like landing gear or canopies. A long time ago I had a full setup with a vacuum forming for clear things and a small compressor and airbrush setup.
