This is the Dragon kit that comes with the F-18G Growler. I opted to go with an F-18E with VF-14 Tophatters CAG markings. Its Dragon kit #4615.

I painted the deck with Tamiya Dark Grey and the white is MM Navy White Acrylic (discontinued and hard to find!) The catapault is painted with Alclad Dark Aluminum. The deck seams were sanded down with an exacto knife because they are grossly out of scale.  Weathering was done with pastel chalks.
