Academy 12627 1/144 USMC F/A-18A Plus VMFA-232 Red Devils Introduction

This Academy 1/144 USMC F/A-18A Plus VMFA-232 Red Devils kit captures the essential form of the F/A-18A on a small but precise scale. The fighter's reputation for reliability and flexibility is represented here through tidy tooling and a decal set that matches the VMFA-232 Red Devils identifiers.

Heritage Notes and Build Quality

The Red Devils squadron brings historical interest to this subject, and the kit honours that with accurate surface detail and decals reflecting the unit's emblem and markings.
