In the previous issue we gave you a quick glimpse of this
impressive new release from Meng in 1:48. I’m pleased
to say my enthusiasm didn’t wain for this kit and it all
went together very nicely without any fuss, and
surprisingly very quickly.
Whether you’re a seasoned F-18 fan or just have a fancy
to build something different from your usual subjects, this
kit is hard to fault. The moulding is nothing short of
perfect and for such a complex airframe the fit is also
excellent; it’s just plain fun to build! (no pun intended). My
aim was to show what can be achieved straight from the
box by someone who knows next to nothing about the F-
18 (namely me!), even avoiding any re-engraving or filling
if possible. I’ve also used only the most basic of tools,
adhesives and finishing products; what you see is what
you get, even a novice modeller could I’m sure get great
satisfaction from this kit and the detailers have a great
basis to work on.
The instructions are very clear and simple and have you
itching to get started, no surprise that the cockpit is the
first step of assembly...let’s go...
