Description
Hobby Master HA5104 depicts F/A-18F 166620 as the CAG jet for VFA-103 “Jolly Rogers”, marked AG200 aboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower for the squadron’s 70th Anniversary (2013). The appeal of this release is the clearly dated anniversary scheme, following the jet’s earlier role changes noted in the reference, making it a specific moment in the Jolly Rogers timeline rather than a standard fleet Super Hornet.
A strong centrepiece for a modern US Navy deck display, ideal for collectors who like CAG aircraft and milestone squadron markings in 1:72.

Very Good (7/10)
