It may be the first, but I hope not the LAST! Your F-18 is gorgeous. I’ve never seen that scheme before and it’s lovely!

It will not be the last because models in 1/48 have so much details. I love 1/48 scale models 😄 I didn’t see it before too so that’s why I done this scheme and the dambuster squadron is my favorit.

Hello Jocelyn,
My compliments on the finish of this beautiful colored F-18C. What a joy to look at.
One comment, this particular F-18 needs assistance from another F-18, carrying the required (Laser) pods to get the guided (JDAM and the other big fellow) ammunition on target.
Besides that, I am (again) charmed of the colors.
Interesting is also the thermal and non thermal ammunition. This invention was started after the fire on board USS Forrestal 29-07-1967. (With at that time Lt. McCain USN on board)
The non thermal bombs on board Chippy have a faster “cook-off” time in case of fire.
Regards,
Dirk / The Netherlands.
