Hasegawa 1/72 F/A-18E Super Hornet USS Ronald Reagan CVW-5
This special edition from Hasegawa contains two 1/72 scale F/A-18E Super Hornet kits representing CVW-5 CAG aircraft operating from the US Navy aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan. The markings cover VFA-115 “Eagles” and VFA-195 “Dambusters” aircraft from 2015 to the first half of 2016.
USS Ronald Reagan became the aircraft carrier for CVW-5 in 2015, and this special kit commemorates that deployment with two distinctive CAG aircraft. With two models in the box, both supplied marking options can be represented together as a paired CVW-5 display.
VFA-115 and VFA-195 CAG Markings
The decal options reproduce two US Navy F/A-18E Super Hornets associated with USS Ronald Reagan and Atsugi Air Base. The VFA-115 “Eagles” option represents CVW-5 CAG aircraft NF300, while the VFA-195 “Dambusters” option represents CVW-5 CAG aircraft NF400.

Two Embroidered Squadron Patches
Alongside the two aircraft kits and their decals, this special edition includes two cloth embroidered emblem patches representing VFA-115 and VFA-195. Each patch measures approximately 9 cm in height, adding an unusual extra to this commemorative release.
The twin-kit format makes this a particularly interesting addition to 1/72 aircraft modelling, allowing both squadrons represented by the supplied markings to be built from the same set.
USS Ronald Reagan CVW-5 Special Edition
This release is centred specifically on the F/A-18E Super Hornet CAG aircraft of VFA-115 and VFA-195 during the early period of USS Ronald Reagan’s deployment with CVW-5. The combination of two aircraft kits, NF300 and NF400 marking options and matching embroidered squadron patches gives the set a clear focus on these two US Navy units and their 2015-2016 CAG aircraft.
