Description

This McDonnell Douglas F/A-18A Hornet represents USN NSAWC aircraft #55 at NAS Fallon, Nevada in 2004. Finished in an eye-catching blue-toned adversary scheme, it reflects the specialised training role flown at Fallon, where Hornets were used to prepare frontline crews against dissimilar air combat threats.

A striking addition to any modern US Navy collection, especially alongside other aggressor and training aircraft. Ideal for display and for collectors who enjoy unusual Hornet schemes with a clear unit role and base association.

Grading

Grading Criteria

Our grading is based mainly on the physical condition of the model itself, including paintwork, attached parts, repairs, visible wear and overall presentation. Box condition and missing separate accessories are noted separately where applicable.

Mint (10/10)
- As new, with no visible flaws to the model itself.

Near Mint (9/10)
- Very light signs of handling, storage or display only.

Excellent (8/10)
- Light wear or a few tiny marks, but still displays very well.

Very Good (7/10)
- Noticeable wear, small chips or rubs, but still presentable as a display piece.

Good (6/10)
- Obvious overall wear, visible marks or paint loss; better suited as a display or filler piece.

Fair (5/10)
- Heavy wear, larger areas of paint loss, repairs or clearly visible flaws.

Spares / Repairs (4/10 or below)
- Significant damage, missing attached parts, broken components or best suited for restoration/spares.

If a separate accessory, stand, leaflet, certificate or optional part is missing, this will be mentioned in the listing notes. The model may still receive a high grade if the model itself remains in strong condition.
