This is the new Revell F-18E Super Hornet VFA-137 Kestrels CAG with digital camo (2011).

I used the DMX decal, you need use the Revell kit for build this plane because it has the ECS pipes exhaust (Dragon kit does not have ECS pipes as you can see in the picture of F-18F kit).

The kit is very good, except I did not like the way the fuselage/wing joint of in flaps area is a diagonal line, making it harder to drop them.

I painted with Gunze lacquer, a coat of future before decals and a little of solvaset... DMX decals have good adhesion and resistancy (easy to handle) even in large parts.
