1/72 Witty Wings US Navy F/A 18C Hornet Chippy Ho VFA 195 Dambusters Squadron 2004


The Chippy Ho 2004 F/A 18C Hornet from VFA 195 Dambusters Squadron is the latest Hornet assets in my Hornet Squadron fleet. Well this model has a lack of fuel tanks because it has been stolen. After few hours repair and add it up with some armament that I have from previous scaled model. I finished up with installion of Paveway II Unguided Missile  and Maverick AGM.

The Strike Fighter Squadron 195 (VFA-195), also known as the "Dambusters", is a United States Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet fighter squadron stationed at Naval Air Facility Atsugi. They are a part of Carrier Air Wing Five (CVW-5) and their tail code is NF.

From 1998 to 2008 VFA-195 was assigned with CVW-5 to the USS Kitty Hawk. VFA-195 flew in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in 2001, striking targets deep in Afghanistan. Called on for duty in the Persian Gulf in 2003, the Dambusters flew 278 combat sorties in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, delivered 179,000 pounds of precision guided munitions against military targets over the course of a single month.When the Kitty Hawk was retired, CVW-5 and VFA-195 moved to the USS George Washington in August 2008.
