DESCRIPTION:
"If you have the F-16 book, get this one!" according to wonderrat. This is the second of a series of books coverning selected fighter aircraft in complete detail. The aouthor's first book covered all aspects of the F-16 and this book does the same for the F/A-18. From the interior of the aircraft including the cockpit, avionics, engine bays, landing gear, radar, etc to numerous exterior photos, there is enough in this book for the modelbuilder to make an accurate replica of the F/A-18. Also helpful are close-up photos of weathered Hornets t. "Outstanding photo coverage, but missing a critical area" according to Mark Shanks. I was the senior Human Factors engineer at McAir on the Night Attack Hornet, and have something of a proprietary interest in the coverage of that version. Unfortunately, this book does NOT have a single photo of the Night Attack ("D" model) aft cockpit. The photos on page 80 are of a "B" model, NOT a "D", and those on 81 are of a NON-Night Attack version (with throttles and stick instead of the side console controllers). Also, the book not does it have ANY photos of the stan. Tony said Excellent book.. Excellent book with many great photos and aircraft details which will help the scale modeler who wants to get it right.
Scale drawings and cockpit diagrams conclude this publication too.. With more than 700 full color pictures, this new publication uncovers every detail of the F/A-18 A/B/C/D Hornet, which was never published in such detail ever before; fuselage details, cockpit variants, maintenance and armament. The McDonnell Douglas - Boeing F/A-18 A / B / C / D "Legacy" Hornet has been around for over 20 years, serving as the backbone of the US Navy and Marine Corps, and as the premier fighter jet for the air forces of Canada, Switzerland, Spain, Finland, Australia, Kuwait, Malaysia, and T
