Review

Aero Research has started a new series with part 1 of the F-18 Hornet. This is the first dedicated disc of this subject and like with previous titles, this disc is full of images that haven't appeared in other publications and provide a nice cross-section of aircraft and units employing the 'bug'. There are 150 images in this installment and provide a selection of F/A-18A, F/A-18B, F/A-18C, F/A-18D Hornets as well as F/A-18E and F/A-18F Super Hornets.

Once again I used my image browser to scan through the aircraft on the disc and I was quite impressed with the selection of aircraft. For the modeler, you'll see lots of good details and color information for replicating these great examples. For the enthusiast and modeler alike, you can browse through a nice variety of high-resolution images of some very nice aircraft!

This is a nice selection of imagery that you won't find available in such clarity and size. This title is recommended!

You can purchase this reference or any of their other photo CDs directly from their website www.aeroresearchcds.com or via email AeroResearch@Charter.net.

My sincere thanks to Aero Research for this review sample!
