My new SM F-18F
Well it was a matter of time before I came back to the F-18F. This time in Jolly Rogers scheme. The box arrived today unharmed with a lot of warrnings on the outside, good thinking Anton...
My ordinance should be here in a few days. This one will be fully loaded.
I put all toghether in a bout 10 minutes to check the parts and everything was there. The paint job is amazing with a very nice weathering, nomenclature and details.
For power I will use a Rhino of course with a Jet Central smoke pump.
Powerbox Royale with Duralite batteries.
Complete light system
All the goodies will go in this one.
Well a few pictures and I will keep you guys posted on building.

RE: My new SM F-18F
Very nice pair you have there Jeff, I had the same F-18E and used to have the F-18F diamond back. This last one is still flying on the hands of a happy cutomer. That jet has almost 3 years know and it is rock solid...

Our builder needs to finish an F-4, F-15 and then my F-18, my guess is we will start end of July or mid August with the F-18.
Can't wait to have mine ready...

Wawo wi wa!
I like the weathering on the service hornets, I have the Skymaster Diamondback one but it doesn't have the same weathering detail as the Jolly. Probably because the livery is fresh.

RE: My new SM F-18F
In mine Anton did a few more things on my request like add some more nomenclature, have the tails and black canopy painted in glossy and not matte like the real one and he added some extra nice weathering, that comes standard with the jet...
The paint job has an A+...

RE: My new SM F-18F
Hi Michel, I should be getting my SM F18F (Canadian scheme) in about a week or so, I want to get a jump start on getting servos, can you or anyone else give me a complete run down on JR servos needed. Thanks.

RE: My new SM F-18F
You are going to love it Kevin. There will be no problem seeing it, and it is of fantastic quality. Mine has not flown yet due to all the gear still in my F18-E. But who know what the winter will bring?.... I higly recommend that you get the cockpit kit to go with it.
