Academy 12422 - 1/72 U.S.M.C F/A-18D Hornet VFMA(AW)-225 Vikings Model Kit Overview

The F/A-18D Hornet is a versatile twin-seat fighter that has served with the U.S. Marine Corps in a variety of roles, from strike missions to reconnaissance. This 1/72 kit captures the aircraft used by VFMA(AW)-225 Vikings and is aimed at modellers who value scale accuracy and authentic squadron markings.

Scale Accuracy and Parts

The kit features finely moulded components that reflect the Hornet's aerodynamic shape and panel details. Parts are engineered to represent key external features faithfully, giving builders an accurate canvas for painting and weathering.

Assembly and Finish

Assembly benefits from clear instructions and well-proportioned pieces, though careful fit and glue work are recommended for the best result. Once painted and decalled, the finished model makes an attractive shelf or diorama subject that highlights the Hornet's profile.
