(The RAAF F/A-18A differs in only minor details from the USN F/A-18C. A bit of web searching by you will easily find the minor points to be changed. If requested by the winning buyer, I will email a copy of a ModelArt magazine review of using the Academy F/A-18C to model an RAAF F/A-18A. The same points are relevant to this kit. Sorry, I do not have the time to send this to all and sundry that ask...so please dont ask unless you are a buyer!)
