Product Description
Sharp kit with etched parts for a more realistic finish
[About the actual machine]
The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet was developed as an advanced version of the F/A-18C/D Hornet and began deployment in 1999.
Compared to the C/D model, the aircraft is larger and the fuel tank capacity has been increased, thereby extending the range.
It is equipped with two F414-GE400 turbofan engines and is armed with a fixed 20mm M61A1 Vulcan cannon. The enlarged fuselage also features 11 additional hardpoints, which are said to be capable of carrying most of the weapons used by the US.
It is a multi-role aircraft that can perform a variety of missions and is therefore widely used.
It is operated by many units of the US Navy, and VFA103 Jolly Rogers is one of them.
The skull and bones markings, first used by VF-17 in 1943 and carried over to VF-103, are familiar to fans worldwide.
VFA-103 has been operating the F/A-18 Super Hornet since 2004.
