So you
recently saw my VFA-15 bird, so here is a shipmate. VFA-87s 2014 CAG. This plane
is the Hasegawa kit with a MAW resin nose which includes the bird slicers. Not
hard to make but the MAW product is much finer and looks better then I can do.
Also used the MAW chaff buckets and resin MLG doors. Along with a Black Box
cockpit, metal wing folds and Afterburner decals you get a lot of aftermarket.

The
decals represent a 2014 CAG from VFA-87 on board USS GH Bush CVN-77. Seeing as
the only (besides Phantoms and aggressors) Navy models I make have "AJ"
tail codes, two options on one Afterburner sheet work for me. If CVW-17 is your
bag then this sheet is even BETTER for you.
