The second addition to this project was the Dragon F/A-18F 'Memorial Flight' kit. Having built the Revell EF-18G kit previously, I was worried that the surface detail differences would be disappointing. However, as I researched photos of this particular aircraft I think that Dragon did a fairly good job. A couple areas I was disappointed with though include the decals which struggled a bit to lay down smoothly. I ended up cropping the tail graphics and relied on painting and masking for the overall effect. I tried to represent the versatility of this airframe by including a load out from the spares boxes that suggested a surface warfare alert craft. This included building out Shelf Oddity's AGM-65 Maverick which was a challenging photo etch set. Hope you like the photos.
