marevic1 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) Hi all. Have just finished up Academys 1/72 F/A-18E. The kit has a snap fit design, and although it lacks the finesse of some other kits, still builds into a really nice Hornet. Had some issues with the decals but overall I'm really happy with how it turned out. A great quick OOB build that leaves plenty of time to practice painting and weathering techniques Hope you like it.

Les Moore Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 We had this squadron (VA 143) on board the USS Constellation during the Viet Nam war. They flew F4Bs at that time....but the same squadron insignia. Great work on a fine looking model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to be mindful when test fitting some parts that they can be a bugger to get off again (I broke the front locating pin on the canopy that way). Other than that it's a nice quick build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
