Comments

Ron Garcia
Nice kit. The only difference between this kit and the P24 and P25 F-18A models is a new PE panel on the cockpit control panel and a few ECM blisters on the fuselage.

The decals need some TLC (tender loving care). After sitting in my stash for almost 30 years, they were quite fragile even after my standard practice of overcoating them with Krylon Clear Gloss.

A few spots needed some filler but overall the fit is fine. Otherwise, the comments I wrote for the P24 and P25 kits are applicable here.

Recommended if it is still sitting in your stash for 30 years like mine was - build it already!
