dint the s=hornet have a gatlin gun ?

Not my area of expertise, but according to Wikipedia the F/A-18C and D (and so presumably the A and B as well) had an M61A1 Vulcan cannon like your Tomcat, while the F-18E and F have an M61A2. I doubt the two guns differ very much in 1:32 scale.

Well done Chris! Looks very nice with all the lighting, love those cockpit screens as well. :thumb2:
I have the old 1/32 Revell in the stash, but I now fear it might be even worse than the Trumpeter kit... Cheers Steven
