I still ended up getting the jet. It'll be awhile before it gets flown, but in the meantime there is some work to be done on it. I'd rate the build job a 5 out of 10, glue everywhere, glue finger prints everywhere and a horrible rats nest of wires and air lines inside. Someone definitely did not know what they were doing. I may end up giving it to my painter and have it repainted, I don't see how I'm going to get it cleaned up.
I was also shocked to see such crappy stickers on a plane like this. I'll be stripping those off and painting them on.
Does anyone have pictures of the interior of their F-18? I'd like to see your setup. I'm getting anxiety thinking about what a mess the inside of this is.
On on my way to a club members house to look at his turbinator he's selling.
