Yeah, I was thinking about doing something similar. I dunno how much it'll help necessarily, but it can't be worse than doing it all in one go, I don't think.
The partial runner is from when Italeri upgraded the molds in 2012 to make a Growler version. Only the ECS stack exhausts are used on the single and two seat kits.
Don't they have 8 or so on the market? Sure to be fair it's all from the same original tooling in 2001, but at least 3 of them added in new parts to replace some of the worse offending sprues. And this one is from 2021, so it's really not all that bad I think! Deff not the worst Super Hornet I've ever made, but then again I don't have an extensive back-log of them haha!
Sorry I missed the premier Fenris - look nice!
I think so too! I'm looking forward to giving it a go!
looks a nice kit
i sometimes cut the large decals in half to make them easier to apply
good unboxing and looking forward to seeing this one built

Ahhh, I see! That makes sense, I figured it had to be something like that. Thanks for the info!
That spade tho lol
Haha yeah. Such a large decal. Shouldn't be too bad though, all things considered.
I dare You to make apply those spade! 🙂
Haha at this rate, that's probably what is going to end up happening
@@fenrismodelsdid they do a "Top Gun 2" release of this (in any scale)
It has to be the spade
(dig yourself out of this hole)
I feel as though Wind Rose is now an appropriate soundtrack to listen to while working on this build....
Reeee
Reeee indeeeeeeed.
The worst F-18 Super Hornet kit! It amazes me that Italeri didn't make another one after they rushed to be the first on the market.
