I just checked and this is from Revell US ..I had the Monogram kit of the F18 many many yrs ago and that kit was good...this one ..not so much .
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Wow!! What a beast! And that was quite a kit recovery job, i don't know if i'd have the patience to deal with something like that.
Very nice work!  :cheers:

Doggy mate I have a issue which I am sure alot of us wiffy builders have..I get an idea and I want that idea to start right freakin now..screw the other projects let's get into this one ...the 18 looked so cool with its new wings and hell I would have scratch built a nose if I had to..this one did turn out really cool and man I'm quite happy about it. ;)

I like that ..she's a big girl that plane and I have already been wondering what wings could be used ..highly modified 72nd scale B-58 wings would be a start ..would end up being a $250+ model in today's world I be thinking...bring on the specials  ;D

Just a thought, may not be all that feasible but I'll just say it anyway...

How about fixing the Tomcat's wing's in the swept position and move the tailplanes up flush with the wing to fill the gap? Bit of putty and scribing and presto: delta Tomcat. Maybe add missile rails to the wingtips to make that area easier... :unsure:
