(2022 F-18 Group Build) F/A-18E VFA-31 - Academy 1/72


Recommended Posts

Alright...I know I shouldn't...but I could't resist... although I have a number of builds ongoing, notably a leftover from the F-14 group build, I decided to join this GB with a F/A-18E in the dress of the VFA-31 Tomcatters. It seems a fairly simple kit and should allow me to complete it in the course of one year. There are many more Bugs in the stash but let's not overdo it.

 

Plan is to build straight from the box, with the only aftermarket the decals from Twobobs.

 

Now off to the table and let's go!

I finished one model end of last year, and since have started about three more.. I figure I should finish at least two builds which are in paining stage now, before starting this F-18 build in full.

 

On the subject, I chose the high-viz CAG bird. Also have an F-14D with VF-31 decals in the waiting line, they will look nice next to each other.

 

So far I just glued the top and bottom wings and ended up with some seams across the flaps which needs a bit of care.

 

 

Blue skies, Andy
