Academy’s 1:32 F/A-18 Hornet series have become ‘jet model
must haves’ since their release and thanks to U.S. Navy
Adversary schemes (to simulate ‘enemy’ aircraft) they are an
endless source of spectacular colour options. Seing a superbly
weathered splinter scheme VFC-12 subject made me fall in
love instantly and start this very project.
I used the Kinetic reboxing that offers about every possible
version of the Hornet, providing single and twin seater parts,
early and late tails, and special decals including very accurate
stencils designed by Afterburner decals. Some white metal
landing gear parts are provided but didnt seem up to the job!
This very inviting kit has a negative: the packaging is very poor
and filled with little attention. Mine arrived with both canopies
broken and I got little joy from both Academy and Kinteic to
get replacement ones. I had to source one from an auction
site on my own: make sure to have your box checked before
ordering one if possible!
