Hasegawa 1/72 F/A-18C Hornet "Golden Dragons" CAG 2009 - Scale Modellers Edition

The Hasegawa 1/72 F/A-18C Hornet "Golden Dragons" CAG 2009 kit delivers an accurate small scale interpretation of the carrier capable fighter. It captures the aircraft's compact lines and squadron insignia, suited to collectors who prioritise scale correctness.

Detailing and Markings

Crisp surface definition and clearly moulded panels help reproduce the Hornet's appearance. The decal sheet covers the "Golden Dragons" markings so you can assemble an authentic scheme. Careful finishing will highlight the kit's recessed detail.

Recommended Modelling Approach

Appropriate for intermediate to advanced builders, the kit requires steady hands for fine parts and precise paintwork. Pre fitting, seam filling and controlled painting techniques will yield the clean, displayable result this model is capable of producing.

  • Material: PS Plastic

  • Decals: Included for "Golden Dragons" livery

What skill level does this suit?

The kit is aimed at modellers with some experience. The smaller scale and delicate parts make it less forgiving for complete novices.

Will the decals need sealing?

Yes, sealing with a glossy or matt clear coat after decal application protects them and blends edges into the paintwork for a painted look.

Are cockpit details sufficient for display?

The cockpit is reasonably detailed for 1/72 scale but benefits from paint highlights and optional aftermarket bits to increase realism when viewed closely.

How best to remove mould lines?

Use fine files, sanding sticks and a gentle touch. Progress from coarser to finer abrasives and finish with a light primer to reveal any remaining imperfections.
