Model represents a plane from training squadron VFC-12 "Fighting
Omars" also known as "Aggressors" and based on Hasegawa's F-18D
Hornet “Night Attack” kit. The minimal
changes have been made because the given kit is the early D version more similar
B version of Hornet.

The cockpit was assembled from BlackBox 48038 set. For
finishing I
used ModelMaster enamels and
TwoBobs 48016 decal. For greater appeal I make all control surfaces are mobile.
All weapon and equipment are removable except central fuel tank. Crew
ladder removable also. The canopy can be fixed in two positions. Two
set of ejection seats have been made for
cockpit. It has allowed to photograph the model in the most various
configurations.
The process
of assembly was simple and afforded great pleasure to me.
