Academy 12535 1/72 USN F/A-18F VFA-103 Jolly Rogers MCP edition

This 1/72 Academy kit recreates the Super Hornet in the striking Jolly Rogers livery, with crisp panel detail and decal work designed for scale accuracy. It is crafted for hobbyists who value historical markings and neat assembly results.

Operational Heritage and Scale Fidelity

The F/A-18F is a twin-engine carrier-capable fighter with a long service record, and VFA-103 is notable for its skull and crossbones insignia. The model reflects the jet's clean profile and offers builders a realistic static representation that echoes the real aircraft's role.

Crafting the Model and Presentation Tips

Parts fit and decal placement are aimed at a satisfying build experience, especially for those familiar with glue-and-paint assembly. Once finished, the model is well suited to shelf displays or themed dioramas where the Jolly Rogers markings can stand out.
