Brengun 1/144 Revell F/A-18C Detail Set & Canopy
By Matt Bittner
Brengun is a company that is not afraid to release aftermarket sets for 1/144. At one point companies claimed that stuff in 1/72 never sold; now those same companies claim that nothing in 1/144 will sell. It's great that Brengun is not narrow-minded and keeps releasing excellent aftermarket sets for the growing popularity of 1/144 scale.
This set from Brengun for the Revell 1/144 F/A-18C is a perfect example. The Revell kit, out-of-the-box, is a great kit to begin with. Add this set from Brengun and you can really create a stunning model. In this set you receive the following: antennas, wheels, landing gear doors, exhausts and an ejection seat. You also receive a really well-cast vacuum-formed canopy so you can show off all that great interior detail.
My only complaint with this set is the lack of instructions. You will definitely need to track down photos of the aircraft you're modeling to ensure you have everything Brengun supplies in the correct place.
Couple this set with the newly released photoetch fret from Brengun and you can really create a 1/144 Legacy Hornet that will outshine most of its larger-scale brethren.
Plenty of thanks given to Brengun for sending this in for review.
