1/48 Hasegawa F-18C Hornet

Here is a Hasegawa F-18C. The Hasegawa kit gets the add ons of a MAW resin nose complete with the latest additions. C bumps and bird slicers. Much easier to use the MAW product then trying to scratch build these tiny but noticeable changes. The next add on to the Hasegawa kit was a Black Box cockpit.

The biggest addition to this kit is the Afterburner decals which allowed me to make the 2014 CAG from VFA-15 on board USS GH Bush CVN-77. Seeing as all I build are Phantoms, RCAF, aggressors and anything CVW-8 I had to get this sheet. It also came with options for a VFA-87 CAG, which will be up next.

Think I might add some photos of some past VFA-15 and CVW-8 CAG builds.
