Hasegawa 1/72 F/A-18F Super Hornet - VFA-103 Jolly Rogers CAG 2022 rendition

The Hasegawa 1/72 F/A-18F Super Hornet captures the VFA-103 Jolly Rogers CAG 2022 paintwork in a neat, display-friendly scale. The kit balances surface detail with manageable assembly, making it appealing to hobby modellers focused on accuracy.

Role and squadron heritage

The F/A-18F is a twin-seat multirole fighter known for strong avionics and carrier operations. It forms an important part of U.S. Navy air wings, and the Jolly Rogers squadron is noted for iconic skull and crossbones markings that make this scheme instantly recognisable.

Build characteristics and decals

This kit features precise part engineering and step-by-step instructions that help builders achieve crisp joins and panel lines. Decals provided replicate the 2022 Jolly Rogers livery, allowing a faithful finish with careful masking and painting.

Collector value and display tips

Finished, the model presents a sharp, museum-style example of modern naval aviation. It looks strong on a desk or display case and pairs well with carrier deck dioramas or other 1/72 naval aircraft.
