  1. Ok, so I have this Trumpeter F/A-18E that I just got off Arrow Wolf.... Since I really don't know that much about things that suck and blow hot air... What AM is out there for the Super Bugs?... I done a basic search via Google and some of the stores and I have only found the a few things...

     

    Rhino Seamless intakes w/wheels (Ordered)

    Eduard Sets

    Quickboost ESC Pipes (Late) and ESC Vents (Early) - Really have no idea if these are need for an E?

    Aires Nozzles

     

    What else is out there.. the list seems to be small

  2. Start to play with the Wuger today...

     

    Glued the wheel bay and wing half's together... Then went to stick the flaps in and they are only design to be fitted in the deployed position, which I didn't want to do as the photo above has the flaps in the closed position.

     

    I found that you can do it by removing the locating tabs off the flaps and thinning down the lip on the lower wing, then you have to play around for 30mins to get it to sit right, if you have the upper wing on....

  3. I would be interested in getting the spats as separate items... The nose shape does look good, but the it price is kinda putting me off... Once I convert it back to NZ $ and then I have to add on Shipping too!

     

    Hoes does the Eduard Intake match to the Resin parts? Can it be done?

  4. Playing around with an spare cowl to get the turned finish.. I started off spraying Mr Color #8 Silver as the base and then Citadel Chinmail was then brushed on..

    Internal side walls are all painted up and weathered... Tamiya RLM Grey was used and then to weather all AK Engine Grime on the Metal area and OIF & OEF Streaking Effects on the Fabric

    And all button up, time to tackle seams!

  5. I have been wanting to build one of these for a while now so... why not add another project on to the wip list!

     

    Cockpit is pretty much done.. Just have to do the rigging and control lines and the fuse can be closed up.. To speed things up I will will be just building straight from the box!
