I have a nice Bug collection: A RAAF (Au)F/A-18A, a USN F/A-18C, a USN F/A-18E, USN F/A-18F (JDAM), a USN F/A-18F (defensive counter air), and a USN EA-18G. The F/A-18E and JDAM F/A-18F both have dammage from being handeled incorrectly. I'll replace them with new builds next year or the year after. (They were handled without permission by a clutz).

Oh wow, it definately sounds like you have an excellent collection. I'm so sorry that your collection was mishandled by a clutz. As you said without permission! Thank you for the read and reply!

Thank you so much TempestJohnny! Yes, especially the wing span of the hornet are wide and long almost making the Hornet seem like it's in a slightly different scale.

Wow, I totally missed this one Toshi! Very nice work.

Maybe you should build a F-16 in the future to go with the F/A-18, F-15, and F-22 so you'll have a complete set!

LOL! Sorry about that! LOL! That is a great idea. I think there's an old Monogram F-16. I'll have to look into that. Thank you for the idea. Don't worry about replying, I know everyone is very busy. Just knowing FSM Forum members are viewing my builds brings joy to my heart. Thanks for the visit!

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Very nicely built Superbug, Toshi! Been toying with the idea of building a Superbug in my stash since maybe a year ago. Somehow, seeing your completed build satisfied my craving. :)

Thank you Allan! I'd still would love to see a "Superbug" from you, even if you vicariously lived through my build. LOL! Thanks for the vist, it means a great deal to me!

Looks awesome Dude! what did you think of the kit as a whole?

Duster

fit and finish were great. No putty needed! The only sanding needed was the seams. Not much of that as well. My only issue is the lack of munitions. AM munition set is highly recommended. I can definately recommend this kit.

very nice toshi!!

It is very hard to get a good build with monochromatic colors, buy yours looks really good.

Thank you sir. Your words of encouragement means much to me.

I missed the final on this one. That did turn out great, Toshi. Very little weathering and nicely presented indeed. The pair look sweet together! :D:D:D

Great work Toshi, it came out beautiful. Very nice !!

Doogy Howser MD and Chuck Norris! LOL, LOL!!. Thank you BrandonK. I got a great laugh on this. Sorry I don't know who's the third individual is?

As for my build, I had an idea of adding the Strike Eagle into the shoot. How did you like that idea? I thought it would make a statement in modern fighter aircraft. The Eagle is the only other modern aircraft I've built thus far.

Here are some photos of my completed Super Hornet. I added the only other modern aircraft I've ever built with the Super Hornet, a Strike Eagle. I thought it was a fitting tribute to the two aircrafts. Please view my builds below and I want to thank you all for your amazing support to my projects.
