Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet 1 SQN RAAF


Recommended Posts

This is my second completion for the year.

It is the Idolmaster boxing of the 1/48 Hasegawa F/A-18F Super Hornet. This is the first 1/48 kit I completed in about 10 years. It was nice to build something with parts I could see :D

I built it pretty much OOB. I had a few fit issues and I think they were my own making.

I used after market decals from Southern Sky. These were original issue from a few years ago with only roundels, tail flashes and numbers. The later sheets are more comprehensive. I also used the Steel Beach ECS pipes to make it look more RAAF.

The weapons are from a Hasegawa weapons set, I used 3 GBU-16s and an ACMI pod to mix it up a bit with the kit supplied AIM-9X and AIM-120.

I started this one just before Christmas and built it for my son who is currently under going training in the RAAF. He hopes to work on Super Hornets when he finishes his training later this year.

On to the pictures....
