Assembly Advice and Final Presentation

Careful trimming and test-fitting help achieve tight joins and clean panel lines. When finished, this F/A-18E makes a polished addition to any modern military aviation display.

Most parts are well defined but small flash and sprue attachment points will need trimming and light sanding for the best fit.
The kit builds well out of the box, though experienced modellers may choose photo-etch or resin upgrades for cockpit or undercarriage refinement.
The kit focuses on the airframe and comes without extensive ordnance; some builders add compatible weapons from aftermarket sets for enhanced realism.
