[Q] Kuwait F-18C?

Nov 06, 2003 4 Replies

I'm interested in building a 1/72 Kuwait F-18C. Which 1/72 kits are recommended, and what modifications would I need to make?


I have found the Hasegawa kits to be the best. The 'C kit would need the searchlight as on Canadian versions which AFAIK is not included in the kit. Hi-Decal makes a set of Hornet decals, including a Kuwaiti aircraft.

HTH,

They are similar to Canadian ones (spotlight, I believe) but they are C's and D's vice A's and B's. They also have both upper and lower blade antenna arrays on the noses, similar to what you see on an F-16 or F/A-18A+...and the longer bladed NAV/COM antennae.

The Hasegawa kits are the best.

Got a question about cockpit details..

Who makes 1/72 cockpit details and ejection seats for the F-18Ds? I haven't found any on the web, although there are lots for the 1/48 kits.

Verlinden makes a nice resin/etch upgrade set in 1/72 for the Hasegawa Hornets. Used one on mine.
