Revell Modellbausatz Flugzeug 1:32 - F/A-18E Super Hornet im Maßstab 1:32, Level 5, originalgetreue Nachbildung mit vielen Details, 04994

Large model with lots of parts,unfortunately there is flash on virtually every part which had to be dry fitted .The coating over the instrument panel didn’t fit and was too tight,and when fitted to the cockpit and front canopy glazing, it leaves a gap under the glazing!!The instructions actually tell you where to remove the flash but it’s everywhere and sometimes difficult to see exactly what the shape should be on some parts.The wheel well consists of many sectional pieces that I chose to fit together as a “skeleton “ to drop in as one piece...the idea to facilitate painting.Will probably turn out ok ,but for a recently developed model ,it’s not good but it is cheap compared to other brands.I’m also building the Tamiya 1:32 F16 which is at least twice the price,but dry fitting is only to see how things go together,not if they fit!!You will need a lot of patience with this which saps the enthusiasm for model making!

Dont bother with this kit, the fit of the parts is horrendous seeing as though this is a new tooling I expected better for my money. When you build a kit you expect to have to fill some small gaps here and there but this kit goes beyond that, even the insructions show some of the areas that need filling around the tail section. Getting the nose and cockpit section to fit is a nightmare and yes youce guessed it more filler needed. I'm about halfway through building this kit and I'm thinking it would have been easier to scratch build an entire kit then work with this one. I'm not a professional model maker in any shape way or form but I have built a fair few models to a decent standard over the last few years and this kit is really testing my nerves. I did think it was my errors causing the problems but a quick online search threw up a couple of videos showing the self ssme problems I have faced. It is a shame because this kit could be wondrful but its not, how this got passed quality control at Revell is beyond me.

I am very disappointed at the quality of the model poor fit of parts lots of mistakes in instructions. For a company of this size it is a very poor show indeed

this is a descent kit and quick delivery

For the money you pay for it you'll think that it'll be a good model. But no it's been made like it's rushed nothing fits together and if you do get it make sure that you have enough model filler
