Exceptional finish and weathering. Rod

Here is my Hasegawa F-18F VFA-41. I first saw these jets in 2004 during Operation Cope Thunder held at Eielson AFB. These were brand new jets so I kept the weathering very minor. I put a weapons load that I envisioned that might have been used on their first deployment. Pictures were taken with a Fuji camera set to auto. I started this project several years ago but I put it back on the self to finish a commission build. So after the completion of my Backfire I decided to finish. I used Model Master Paints, Two Mikes intakes, Eduard cockpit set, G Factor landing gear, Black box cockpit and superscale decals. Thanks for looking. V/R Rod
