1/72 F/A-18D Hornet Model Representing VMFA-115

The Hasegawa 02497 kit accurately represents the F/A-18D Hornet at 1/72 scale with authentic VMFA-115 Silver Eagles marking options. The plastic set reproduces the aircraft form and surface detail expected by scale enthusiasts and collectors.

Precision moulding provides clear panel lines and a cockpit assembly that benefits from careful painting. The kit is aimed at builders who want a display-quality model with realistic finish potential.

Scale: 1/72
Material: Plastic
Assembly Type: Requires assembly and painting
Decals: Included for VMFA-115 Silver Eagles

What paint approach works best for this scale?

An airbrush gives the smoothest finish for 1/72 scale surfaces, but careful brush painting can also produce excellent results with thin, even coats.

Will the supplied decals apply cleanly?

Yes, decals are provided for VMFA-115 markings. Use decal setting solution and a sealed paint surface for best adhesion and to avoid silvering.

How should small parts be handled during assembly?

Work on a clean bench, use tweezers for tiny pieces, and test-fit parts before gluing to ensure accurate joins and alignment.
