Academy 1/72 F/A-18D Hornet VFMA(AW)-225 Vikings Detailed Kit

The F/A-18D Hornet remains a popular subject thanks to its twin-seat configuration and multi-role capabilities within the Marine Corps. This Academy 1/72 kit represents the VFMA(AW)-225 Vikings scheme and provides a solid platform for modellers who like to add realistic finishes.

Parts and Fit

Moulded parts show defined panel lines and fit together with attention to alignment. Careful test-fitting improves seam lines and reduces the need for filler during assembly.

Construction Notes

Builders should allow extra time for small detail assembly and painting. The kit responds well to light weathering and subtle shading to bring out the aircraft's structure.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included

What skill level suits this kit?

Intended for intermediate builders, the kit requires patient assembly and painting to get the best results from its fine parts.

Are the decals accurate for the Vikings livery?

Decals in the box are designed to represent VFMA(AW)-225 markings and align well when applied following decal setting techniques.

Do I need to drill any holes for weapons or undercarriage?

Most attachment points are moulded, but light drilling or cleanup may be needed for pylons and undercarriage fit depending on your preferred build method.
