About product

Model Maker 1:48 decal set - the Finnish F/A-18C, 2022 season

Decals in 1:48 scale from the brand Model Maker with the markings of the Finnish F/A-18C Hornet from the 2022 display season. The set is an accessory for marking a model you build and paint from a separately obtained kit; it holds no plastic or resin parts itself. The C version is single-seat, which is the first thing to watch when choosing a kit.

The Hornet as a subject for modelers

The F/A-18C is a twin-engined multirole aircraft with markedly angular transitions and large areas on the fuselage and the fins, which lend themselves directly to decal artwork. For a model that means pleasant work: most of the areas are flat or only gently curved, so large elements lay down more easily than on the slender fuselage of an older fighter, for instance.

Recommended procedure

Let the paint mature thoroughly and cover it with a gloss varnish - with saturated display schemes a smooth surface matters even more than usual, because the elements tend to be large and every irregularity shows. Lay the decals on one at a time, adjusting the position with a brush and water. Over the edges of the leading-edge extensions and the transitions of the nacelles, a softener in two doses helps; let the model rest between them. Where a decal has to follow a recess, it is sometimes easier to nick the film carefully with a sharp point and let it drop in. Finally even everything out with a matte or satin varnish.

Who the set is for

  • builders of contemporary naval and multirole fighters in 1:48
  • anyone interested in the Finnish Air Force and its display machines
  • modelers who collect the schemes of individual seasons
  • those who want to set a model markedly apart from service markings

The decals are supplied on their own. The kit, the paints, the gloss varnish and the softener are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Yes, the F/A-18C is the single-seat variant of the Hornet. The two-seat one carries the designation D.

Once the softener is on, the film can be nicked carefully with a sharp point and left to settle; the cut is then hidden by the final varnish.

They are not. The set holds only decals; the paints and varnishes are bought separately.
