F/A-18F in 1/48

[chameleon 2009]

Let me present to you the F/A-18F in 1/48 scale by Hasegawa


Strike Fighter Squadron 213 (VFA-213) Black lions is an aviation unit of the United States Navy based at Naval Air Station Oceana, Virginia (USA). It was established in 1955 and is currently equipped with the Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet. The squadron is assigned to Carrier Air Wing Eight and uses the radio callsign Lion.


This was painted using Tamyia and Vellejo paints, I use the lax box ejector seats, and the Hasegawa missile sets, the engine covers were made from modelling clay, hope you enjoy
