Hi,
I've just been looking through Revell's instructions for their F/A-18E
and was not able to find any information about the location of this
aircrafts positon lights. Very strange.
I know each vertical tail has a red light on the outside and the right
fin has a clear light on the trailing edge.
But there surely has to be more. Are that position lights on the
LERX's upper surface? (red and green/blue)
And what about the underside?
Anything further?
It seems that Revell has simply forgotten to mention any lights in
their painting instructions. (German issue)
...or is it me? I already wear glasses...

There are pos lights on the upper LEX, the forward part of the aileron
actuator fairings, and on the forward tip of the strake inboard of the
wingtip LAU-127's...the same basic positions as on a baby Hornet.

This is one instance where the D&S book on teh Super Hornet actuall has
some useful information in it - there is an Exterior Lighting diagram on
page 61. Nav lights are the usual red on the left, green on the right.
Decent pics of actual aircraft Exterior lights are also presented on
pages 62, 64, 65, and 66.
