Academy EF-18A(M) Hornet 1/72


Recommended Posts

Hello,

This is the Academy F/A-18A+ converted into a spanish EF-18A (Modernized). The only after-market part is the decals. The kit is really very good, better than the old Hasegawa. The camouflage is a bit odd, definitely not the regular Spanish Air force one, probably applied during a maintenance work. 

Cheers

Thank you for your comments and likes,

@Vultures1 well spoted! Indeed there are some scratchbuilding mainly for the slats/flaps, ladder and the nosegear. IMHO a parked F/A-18 must have its slats/flaps in down position. Actually cutting and shaping the flaps take less than 2 hours, no need to purchase after-market item here. Also I removed the catapult launch bar that is sometimes not fitted. 

Cheers

Absolutely stunning work, could easily pass for a bigger scale.

 

Quick fancy having a go at the Academy one I have in the stash now!
