Thanks Guys!
Thanks Music City
Externally, the difference between the F-18D and C is the the D is twin seater, while the C is only a single seater. The D cockpit is extended rearward. The Fuselages for both are the same length, no stretching. Academy provides almost all the parts for making a 'D' (As well as parts for making almost any F-18 you wish). I maean they have the double place cockpit, and part of the spine is a separate part, so switching the conversion will be easy from that stand point. The rear cockpit is a scrathbuilder's dream: It's totally featureless, so I would have scratchbuild all the rear details, but it looks easy enough to do, and Academy does not include a true 'D' instrument panel, but scratchbuilding one of those is easy, especially if I use a Eduard F-18 interior set(probably will use two for the model.)
Thanks for the tip on squadron. They are my favorite online Hobby shop. I didn't know that they had all that available, though. I will definitely give that the Thermaform a look.
Thanks jdavid b for the tip: I forgot about Sculpey to tell you honestly. I like working with it better than Milliput.
Thanks all you guys for your help. I will give these techniques a try.
