Customer Reviews

Amazing!!!!!
Any aircraft modeller will tell you that a good reference is essential to building a good quality model. Well, this book fits the bill. It might not detail how to build 1:72 scale hornets but there are plenty of ideas and tips on how to produce a really well detailed model of the F/A-18 hornet.
One of the other benfits of this book are that it lists other reference books for the hornet including the new Super hornets aswell as a list of paints and tools that can be used.
10/10 for this one.
