Academy 12535 1/72 representation of the USN F/A-18F VFA-103 Jolly Rogers MCP

This Academy 1/72 model reproduces the Super Hornet with clear panel lines and the Jolly Rogers emblemation, offering a convincing static replica for dedicated modellers and collectors.

Background and Fidelity to the Real Jet

The twin-engine F/A-18F Super Hornet is a carrier-capable multirole platform and VFA-103 is noted for its historic insignia. The kit concentrates on proportion and surface detail to produce a model that honours the aircraft's operational character.

Tips for Building and Presentation

Careful cleaning of parts and precise decal application will yield the best results; painting and subtle weathering will enhance realism. The completed model is well suited to shelf displays and formal collections.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Recommended for enhanced realism
Remove flash carefully, test-fit components before gluing and sand mating surfaces for cleaner joins and reduced visible seams.
Yes, with a suitable display stand or a bespoke mount you can present the aircraft in a flight attitude; ensure secure attachment points when modifying the airframe.
Light weathering highlights panel detail and provides depth; avoid overdoing it to keep the Jolly Rogers scheme recognisable.
