I am going to build either the Fly Model or the GPM F-18. Does anyone have a build of either of these posted or pics? Does anyone have a preferance as to which one is better, more realistic? I would love some advice. A build thread would be really helpful so I could know where some of the hang-ups occure.

Any help or advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have a few f-18s in the que so to speak. The best is the Halinski, followed by the Fly model version then GPM. The Hobby Model version should be placed right in the collectors bin. I like the Modelik f18F 2 seater also. If you want quick and modest detail but no cockpit PModel in 1/50 is OK. The HAlinski GPM and Pmodel is US Navy, the Fly is a Marine version. Maly made a version in 1/33 with mid level detail but I think it didn't have the landing gear wheel wells. Anyways that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

thanks for the suggestions everyone. I actually went with the Fly Model version. I started a build thread that you can check if you would like. I have only been building for a couple of years and this model is by far the most difficult and detailed model I have ever attempted. I havn't done any work on it in a while as I have been rather preoccupied with music, but will get back to it eventually.
