F/A-18E SuperHornet

When the F-14 proved to be too expensive to operate, the US Navy opted for an enlarged version of the F-18 Hornet. The result was the F/A-18 SuperHornet capable of longer range, carrying a larger payload, more sophisticated sensors and a reduced radar signature. Though more affordable than the F-14, it is still too expensive to enjoy the export success that the original F-18 did.

I modified my F-18A mesh to make this instead of modeling it from scratch, so its not very accurate or pretty.
