Default Super Hornet is nearly done!
I'm almost done with my Skymaster F-18 Super Hornet. I have a Jetcat Titan SE for power. I will maiden it in the next few weeks after months on the bench. I am so excited that I had to post pictures.

Did you see the reflection in the cockpit? It looks like you put a spare tire infront of the HUD!

You do know I was only kidding. That plane is sweet looking
