Built for the ARC Centennial of Naval aviation group build. This is the Hasegawa F-18E built mostly Out of the box.

Decals are from Afterburner, an excellent sheet which I bought with another ARCer who wanted to build some of the other options on the sheet. Come on Elmo, lets SEE something!!

Other add ons are the Steel Beach exhaust do-hickeys between the tails.  A definite requirement for any modern Super Hornet.  Hasegawa does not include these in their kits yet. (that I have seen). Basic paint with minimal weathering, just a little pre shading. Added a couple group shots. 3 from VFA-31, a shot with my VFA-213s and the ever popular shelf area.
