Reid Air Publications is pleased to announce the latest title in our line-up, The Modern Super Hornet Guide, which covers the F-18E, F-18F, and the new EA-18G Growler.

Like other books in the Modern Guide series, The Modern Super Hornet Guide extensively, and I do mean extensively, covers all Super Hornet versions and Lots. An enormous section covers the different cockpits, and another section is devoted to weapons by the jet. From the tip of the radome to the engine exhaust, the jet is covered in excruciating detail, with textual descriptions and interesting information as to how many of the jet's systems work.

168 pages, 926 images of the Super Hornet, all in color. $39.95 Available from the Reid Air Publications website.

It is now available and shipping worldwide. Here are some sample pages and cover artwork.

Thanks, boys!

Jake

Definately an asset to anyones personal library. Jake designs the book inline with the modeller needs, I feel. Fantastic coverage and clear photography.

Well worth the addition. :thumbsup:

Cheers,

Michael

35 years ago I started off with nothing; and I've still got most of it!

Mark, do you mean F-18D? If so, not yet. It's coming in the near future, though.

Awesome looking resource for sure and very similar to the awesome Daco Books. I have their F-14 and Phantom books and they are beyond impressive.

Jake it's awesome. It's not until you have comprehensive reference material like this that you release how much work you have to do to fix some kits up, like Trumpeter's F model for example.

Totally recommended.
