I built this model specifically
to be presented at the Change of Command Ceremony for
VFA-195 at NAF Atugi on April 11. It was my opportunity to meet the Commanding Officer
of VFA-195. At the Ceremony I
present the F-18 I built to Mr Russell J.Bartlett.

Mr Bartlett was quite pleased
with the model....as was his son.
The model I chose to build for
this occasion was the excellent 1/48 Hasegawa F-18. In
an effort to save time, I exchanged the stock ejection seat for an ejection seat
from True Details.
The birds head on the vertical
stabilizer and unit markings and the pilots name under the canopy were printed
on an ALPS printer. General stencils were taken from the decal sheet that
came with the kit.
I appreciate VFA-195 for giving
me such an opportunity.
Mr
Bartlett is leaving Japan now. Although his future plans are still
undecided, he wished to progress to the Blue Angels.
