Yes, very dear to my heart… I am just about to start my Hasegawa 1/72 F/A-18C-D’s converted back to A&B models… One high Vis 3 squadron, and the other Low vis… I have just returned back from Australia with a bag full of Aussie decals to do the job!.. I will definately book mark your pics for reference! Thanks for sharing…

I think we need an Australian R.A.A.F Group build???

Awesome looking Hornet! The GPS antenna is a nice touch they didn’t forget. I’ve seen quite a few F/A-18A+'s come thru here at Fallon. I guess those down under call them F/A-18A HUG’s for Hornet Upgrade but someone else will have to verify that. - Calvin
