I built it back in March. guess it wouldn't of mattered, I wasn't a member of this site yet. I had just found this post of the build.

Has anyone (more clever than I) tried one of the Super Hornet recolors from Paper-Replika? The engine portion of the fuselage is the same (part 17), thanks, Airdave for being a life/sanity saver.

My Blue Angel F18 (the subject of this thread) is the paper-replika model.
Or are you asking if we have built any of the other paint schemes?

And what on Earth is part 28? Looks like a little wedge that goes somewhere around the intake. |

F18 Super Hornet is, overall, a larger airrcaft than the Hornet.
Carries more fuel and armament. Generates a bit more lift. became the Navy's replacement for the retired F14. My biggest complaint with this model (at the time) was the lack of instructions. The cgi build images that Julius posts (as instructions) didn't always offer eveything you needed. I think things have changed a bit, and his assembly information is more detailed now. Part 28 are vertical tabs/fins on the eading edges of the wing LERX.

Not to thread-jack Dave’s BA Hornet thread here but, Mr. Perdana has never released a “true” Super Hornet or “Rhino”. All he has released is the Legacy Hornet or “Bug” and simply renamed it.
No “DIS” intended Jules, as you have truly given the community some great birds with many hours (actually, years now) of enjoyment. These are excellent, beautiful builds that I’ve personally enjoyed! There are several noticeable differences between these two birds. The first few, most obvious, are the wider LEXs (Leading Egde Extensions), the trapezoidal intakes (one of the many places on this vehicle using the angled-edge Stealth Tech) and the dog-toothed wing LEs (directly fore of each wing hinge). Others are the angled 5-sided elevators, the jagged-edge well and door shapes on the fuse belly, no in-take ramps, no LEX fences (part 28), no gap between the LEXs and fuse, no dorsal aft speed brake (forward LEX spoilers just fore of the b/p vents act as brakes instead) and overall aircraft increased size (L,W,H). I’m sure there are other diffs I’ve missed, these are just some obvious ones I can name quickly. I suppose you can use part 17 as a fuse base to build off of, however the whole build would require a lot of work, a re-design really, to achieve a more accurate SH look. Go with Ojimak’s SH for a simpler, more accurate build. For a good and challenging technical build, Modelik’s SH is readily available from several online sellers, even directly. Now, back to Dave’s BA Hornet... -J |

Yes, Back to Dave.
And thanks a million for the detour. |
