Academy 1/72 F/A-18C VFA-82 'Marauders' by Academy 12534

The F/A-18C Hornet has been a key naval fighter, and Academy 12534 reproduces this jet at 1/72 scale with attention to proportion and markings. The kit is tailored for modellers who prioritise accuracy and a neat finished appearance.

Notable Service Record and Modelling Value

The Hornet's broad operational use makes it a favoured subject for military aircraft modellers. This kit captures characteristic features and allows builders to reflect the VFA-82 'Marauders' scheme on a small but detailed platform.

Assembly Quality and Finishing Options

Moulded components present fine surface detail and require precise fitting for best results. Options include deployed landing gear and armament mounts, and the cockpit elements plus decal sheet give opportunities for a sharply finished display model.

What age is this kit suitable for?

This kit is aimed at teenagers and adults with some model building experience due to small parts and the need for careful painting and decal application.

Will the model need fillers for seams?

Some seam lines may require light filling and sanding to achieve a smooth finish before priming and painting, depending on assembly precision.

Are spare decals or aftermarket options available?

Aftermarket decal sets and detail-up parts exist for popular kits; check specialised suppliers if you want alternative markings or enhanced cockpit and ordnance detail.
