1/72 Academy F/A-18E VFA-143
This is the 1/72 Academy F/A-18E Superhornet depicting the CAG Aircraft of VFA-143 "The World Famous Pukin Dogs" from 2008. The model was built completely OOB using the kit decals which were excellent. Painted with MRP paints (Gunze Mr Color for the tail and weathered with oils. The kit was very nice and does provide full intake trunking which I though was nice.
That's a beauty, Geoff...a pleasant surprise to once again see some of your work - we've missed ya, pal.
Hello Geoffrey,
Nice build, the blue fins makes it complete.
Interesting to note on the underside, how sturdy the landing gear is.

Excellent! The finish work to get some nice variation to the mono-grey scheme is beautiful.
Very neat little build! Spot on.
