Hasegawa 1/72 F/A-18F Super Hornet featuring VFA-103 Jolly Rogers CAG 2022 livery

The Hasegawa 1/72 F/A-18F Super Hornet kit faithfully renders the VFA-103 Jolly Rogers CAG 2022 livery with crisp mould lines and accurate decals. It is aimed at modellers who value a balance of detail and straightforward assembly in modern military subjects.

Background and squadron insignia

The twin-seat F/A-18F Super Hornet is a key multirole aircraft for carrier operations, equipped with updated avionics and weapons flexibility. The VFA-103 Jolly Rogers are distinctive for their skull and crossbones emblem, making their schemes highly collectible.

Construction flow and decal application

Parts are engineered for a tidy fit and the instructions guide builders through a logical build sequence. The supplied decals recreate the Jolly Rogers 2022 colours; using decal softener and a sealing coat will help the markings sit correctly over panel detail.

Collecting notes and display suggestions

Once finished, this Super Hornet is a solid centrepiece for a modern air force display. It pairs well with other 1/72 carrier aircraft and fits easily into glass cases or desktop layouts.
