Have to admire Trumpeter for their boldness in what they produce. First came across their kits in Hong Kong in 2001 and wow what they've done since is incredible, things I never thought I'd ever see. Great review Nigel.

Fascinating box review. I think the word you are searching for is "elevons", flaperons are wing mounted and canards are up front ahead of the wing as per the Typhoon (which being a Prestonian , I still call an EAP)

Good review Nigel, although I’m not into jet fighters, to me they all look the same, like going to buy a new television and you see a wall of them. They all look the same! It looks like Trumpeter did a half decent job on the moulds, and I’ll happily follow an ex Rolls Royce engineer into a hornets nest 😊

Wow really shocked when you said the price! £30 ish looking on eBay average £135 I’m doing the 1/48 version, you have to coax and ease and persuade it to quite an extent but it’s a really shaping up into a great looking kit. Really detailed and informative review Nigel as always thanks for posting. My big issue is do I get this or a Tamiya Enterprise aircraft carrier….

try hard to match Tamiya, parts with box and the same font. Very cool. Was looking to get the Revell one but this seems to be the one.

Thanks for this, impressive kits in the box aren't they? Despite the usual Trumpeter surprises....Not seeing great things online about the Revell kitset so far I'm afraid to say, despite the lower price, It looks like it may have been rushed a bit to market? Anyway, look forward to your review if you decide to buy it [the Revell].

Great review! Does the kit come with any LAU-127 launch rails? (They’re used for double AIM 120 or AIM 9)

@@NigelsModellingBench Appreciate the feedback. I'm a former aircraft technician so I understand airframes and operating systems and naturally I'm an aviation nut and scale modeller. I've followed and researched the Super Hornet right from the beginning as it was going through flight trials when I was in high school. As a scale modeller, obviously I'm more concerned with external differences between one version and another. So much like the F-14 Tomcat between the A, B and D models, the Super Hornet E (single seat) and F (Twin seat) versions go by Block number. Feel free to check out my Zone 5 Aviation facebook page (link on my channel page). I don't have a lot of content just now on my channel as I recently pulled a lot of old stuff down but all my previous builds are on the Facebook page.
