That's a great lookin' build. Seeing stuff like that always tears me up because I can never decide if I like single seaters or two seaters better.
Do you know if this uses most of the same molds as their F/A-18E kit? I'm just curious is all. I'm guessing yes. I built their E-model and aside from a few fit issues, it came out great.
I also did not know about the pylon issue. Interesting!
