Not bad at all, especially considering all the trouble you had at just about every step. The lights were very much worth the effort, IMHO.
HI Jakko yes she just scrapes through as im tryin to stick to what i said that ive never binned a model an i dont intend to start now but it was touch an go there for a time but wont ever buy this kit again but she has a lot goin for her as i said to Pete above im a bit dissappionted in the hornet kit as not much detail on it but ive got some plans worked out to make her better that just a trumppy kit an its smaller an easyier to work on an dint the s=hornet have a gatlin gun ?

Not my area of expertise, but according to Wikipedia the F/A-18C and D (and so presumably the A and B as well) had an M61A1 Vulcan cannon like your Tomcat, while the F-18E and F have an M61A2. I doubt the two guns differ very much in 1:32 scale.
HI G/M Jakko many thanks for the info on the gun i think i'll buy a book on the super hornet an have a study hopefully with some pics in it as i want to do on the kit like have on the tomcat which trumpy havint suppleid as i have the 18F VERSHION
