F/A-18 D Hornet "Night Attack" 1:32

[Model Maniac]

This is one of my favorite warplane. It's the F/A-18 D Hornet "Night Attack" 1:32 from Academy. Built a year or two ago by one of my modeler named "Niphon":

Comments and suggestions are welcome!

Looks nice. Just a couple of things though. When the wings fold the outboard flaps retract (dont droop). With engines off the vens (variable exhaust nozzles) should be closed. The panel that is open should be closed as there would be more to see than what is there so it id kind of noticeable. And although I'm not a munitions expert I think your gbu's are painted oddly. Hope you dont mind the small pointers and that they will be of some use for the next one.

Thanks so much, James, for your kind response and suggestions. You must have been in the USAF. I think my modeler built and painted it as per instruction sheets, gbu's included, and whatever panels that can be opened will be opened to show the inside. Your comments will be useful to other who want to build this kit in the future. I don't mind your pointers and I'd like you to comment on my other threads too. Have you seen my thread on the Elco80' PT-956 1:35?
