This is my first Monogram kit,
and first re-engraved kit. I
use Monogram F/A-18C kit, but made some change to type F/A-18A+. Because
the decal which I bought was TwoBobs'
"[TB48-062] USMC F/A-18A VFA-201 Hunters, VMFA-115 Patriot Hornets".
I used VMFA-115 Patriot
Hornets's marking, and it's really COOL!

To convert C
type to A+ type, I remove Two ECM antennas behind the canopy, remove
one antenna which was at the vertical stabilizers. I re-engrave all panel
lines, cut flaps and rudder, and rearranged them. But I can't rearranged
slat because I didn't have plenty of time. I
painted this Hornet with Gunze Mr. Color 307(upper side), 308 (lower side).
Both washing and weathering were
done by Tamiya Enamel and Oil Color And I used pastel and sanded pencil lead to
emphasis panel line. This
working is really good to emphasis panel line (weathering, too) Then
Gunze Super Clear (Semi-Gloss) is applied as a final coating.
