Academy 1/72 USN F/A-18C VFA-192 Golden Dragons Scale Kit Overview

The Academy 1/72 scale model of the USN F/A-18C VFA-192 Golden Dragons gives scale modellers a compact but detailed representation of a modern naval fighter. The F/A-18C is noted for its multi role capability, and this kit captures the aircraft lines and surface features suited to display or diorama work.

Scale Craftsmanship and Fit

Attention to moulded detail and panel lines makes this 1/72 kit rewarding for builders who enjoy precise assembly. The cockpit moulding, control surfaces and intake shapes provide opportunities for fine painting and finishing, while parts fit encourages careful dry fitting and seam work.

VFA-192 Squadron Markings and Heritage

The Golden Dragons livery is represented with decals intended to match the squadron appearance. The kit lets collectors recreate a historic naval jet with authentic markings that complement the realistic surface detail after painting.

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Glue required
  • Decals: Included for VFA-192 livery

What skill level suits this kit?

This kit is best for intermediate to advanced builders because of the small parts and the need for careful painting and seam filling to achieve a clean finish.

Which paints work best on the plastic?

Acrylic or enamel hobby paints are both suitable; many builders prefer airbrushing base coats and using fine brushes for cockpit and detail work. Test compatibility on spare sprue first.

Any tips for the decals?

Soak decals briefly, slide into position, and use a decal setting solution to conform them to panel lines. Seal with a clear coat once dry to protect the markings.
