Andwil Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 F/A-18A Hornet A21-39, 77 Squadron RAAF Williamtown. This aircraft has worn this special scheme to celebrate successively 77 squadron’s 75th anniversary in 2017, its 77th in 2019 and most recently 33 years of Hornet operations in 2020. The unit ceased flying Hornets in December 2020 and is now converting to the F-35A. In September-October 2019, 77 squadron deployed 6 Hornets to Chitose JASDF base for exercise Bushido Guardian, the RAAF’s first joint exercise with Japan. The model represents the aircraft, flown by the CO Wg Cdr Jason Easthope, on arrival at Chitose. 1/72 Hasegawa with Quickboost seat and intakes, ResKit wheels, Brassin AIM-132 ASRAAM and AIM 3D printed ACMI pod.

opus999 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 That is fantastic! I love the color and decoration on the tail and you've really nailed the land-based Hornet weathering. I built a Hasagawa 1/72 F-18 a while back and the seams were a real challenge. You've made this one look great. Nice job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
