Accurate 1/72 Hasegawa F/A-18F Super Hornet VFA-41 Black Aces CAG 2022

The Hasegawa 1/72 F/A-18F Super Hornet recreates the VFA-41 Black Aces CAG 2022 look with sharp moulding and defined panel lines. Hasegawa 02429 is aimed at modellers who value a faithful small-scale representation of a modern naval fighter.

Suitability and subject matter

Assembly advice and finish options

Due to the small parts, take care during assembly and test fit before gluing. Paint application and decal placement are key to achieving a convincing finish; consider light panel wash and subtle weathering to bring out detail.

How challenging is Hasegawa 02429 to assemble?

The kit is moderately challenging; small detail parts and tight joins require some prior modelling experience and patience when gluing and sanding.

Any tips for painting the Black Aces scheme?

Use thin, even coats and mask carefully for the squadron markings. An airbrush produces the smooth finish needed for the subtle tones on the CAG scheme.

Can I display this on a carrier diorama?

Yes. The 1/72 scale works well with simple carrier deck dioramas and arrestor gear details. Keep the base scale consistent for best presentation.

Should I consider aftermarket parts?

Aftermarket seats, resin bays and photo-etch sets can raise the level of detail. They are worth considering if you plan a show-quality finish.
