This kit is the two-seat version of the F/A-18C. like it's single seat brother, it's a perfect release again! The kit contains 19 bigger and smaller sprues from which is 1 clear. It also contains rubber tires, metal inserts for the undercarriage legs and 2 decal sheets, one with full stenciling for the weapons, and another with decal options for 4 aircraft. A colorful jet from VMFA(AW)-225, Vikings with it's Viking head on the tail, Two options of VMFA(AW)-224 Bengals, one with a tiger print on the rudder, and another one with full tiger print over the whole aircraft. Last option is a VMFA(AW)-332 Moonlighters jet, in low-vis. Full stenciling is also included on the decal sheet.
The kit itself is of a very high standard. It has finely engraved panel lines, full engine, and intake. Highly details cockpit, and there are enough fuel tanks or weapons to fully load your kit as you like. Also included are two highly detailed pilot figures as well as two crew members.
Straight from the box this will build into a great looking two seat Hornet! And with addition of some aftermarket products it can be even better!
This kit is highly recommended to everybody who likes modern jets in a big scale!
