Larger than the F / A-18C-D Hornet, the Super Hornet is also more powerful, has a longer range and 2 extra wing stations suitable for a wide range of weapons and equipment.
Like its predecessor, the Super Hornet maintains anti-ship, air-to-ground and air-to-air capabilities and also plays the role of tanker for the other fleet mates.
The E/A-18G Growler is the electronic warfare variant entered service in 2009 to replace the EA-6B Prowler.

About the empty pylons use: print fuel tanks and/or missiles and glue them to the model or merge all the stl in your slicer and print your custom configuration or use a 3d editor that can read .stl files in order to build your own variant.
Loads and weapon stations (hardpoints) have tiny protrusion to make easier the positioning of ordnance.
Note for the alignment: all 6 wing pylons are angled 4° at the front and the two outboard pylons are also canted 3.5° outward at the bottom.
Models scale 1:200 made to be printed with a MSLA or a FDM with 0.2 mm nozzle at this scale.
For other scales use the following values into your slicer:
for 1:100 use 200%
for 1:144 use 139%
for 1:200 leave 100%
for 1:285 use 70%
for 1:300 use 66%
At 1:100 it can be used a FDM printer with a 0.4mm nozzle.
Under 1:200 is almost mandatory a resin printer.
Print test:
1:200 made with a FDM with 0.2mm extruder.
