This model is an elegant looking one of US Marines’ F-18A

The model is not very detailed as it is a very old one. The cockpit clear canopy got misty at a few places due to glue vapor and I removed and cleaned it back again, not bad but still clear and cockpit details are well visible.

Painting the blue lines and white parts have been very challenging and you will some imperfections here and there. I gave more importance to the overall outlook. I found some custom decals and applied on various places in compliance with the marines structure. The model is entirely painted except the tanks. The decals around the canopy are hand made and not perfect but match the picture on the box. There is very slight uneven alignment on the front wheels without affecting the overall positioning of the model.

I do not accept returns as this harms the models. I insulate and pack it generously, and also insure tge parcel in case of least likely buy potential harm. But it did not happen except a few sales out of my over 100 shipments.

Please ask for more photos if needed. I am not very skilled at providing the best photos. The model is sturdy, well staying on my shelf. Costs are immense. Shipping, kit, material and most importantly the time in details
