Meng F/A -18E Maverick

[Big10]

After watching Top Gun Maverick, decided I needed to build the "Maverick Hornet"

The blue is a custom mix as I just did not like the offering with the decals.

The Meng Hornet is not a bad kit. I've built 2 Hasegawa Hornets and find the Meng better.

Smooth job so far!

That's a great scheme

Got my Top Gun build done. It's not the correct weapon load out. I added one more pylon than what was used in the movie so I just went ahead and used the other weapons offered in the kit. Kept this one clean, would like to build another one and dirty it up some. Kit was a nice build overall and not too many issues.

I wanted my targeting pod camera to have the same reflectivity you see on the actual thing. Bought some hollow graphic vinyl and cut out the design and applied to the clear part. Plays the part fairly well.
