This is my second take on a delta winged F/A-18. The previous was a single seater and now it's a two seater. The Academy 1/72 F/A-18D is used as a base, and combined with the wings and canards from Italeri 1/72 Rafale M. I decided to use RAAF decal that comes with the Academy box instead of from leftover stack of decals.

That's stunning 

very striking, and the canards / winglets work well

I like that.  Good job.   

 

Neat, even though I feel that the wings and the canards could have been placed a bit further forward?
Still a very nice work. 

That looks right that does.

Makes me wonder why I didn't think of it ... 

Well done!

Wow ! That looks phenomenal ! Defo have to do a double take from the low angles, looks like the real/ normal thing ! Great job on the camo. Not only the pattern, but the mix of colours.

Yep, that works!

Love the camo scheme but not sure it really works for Aus, though ... Maybe an overseas deployment scheme? Afghanistan, perhaps?

Nicely done, I like that! 

I've always thought the F/A-18 would look good with the F-16XL wing on it.

Looks like they SHOULD have built it that way in the first place!

She does look a bit tail heavy, but great job!  Really like the paint job. 

Great job all around! It's on my to do list now

Most excellent!
