Achieve a sharp, defined paint finish with masking stickers.
[About the actual device]
The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet was developed as an improved version of the F/A-18C/D Hornet and began deployment in 1999.
Compared to the C/D models, this version features a larger airframe and increased fuel tank capacity, resulting in a longer flight range.
It is equipped with two F414-GE400 turbofan engines.
In addition to a fixed armament of one 20mm M61A1 Vulcan cannon, the aircraft's enlarged airframe has been modified with 11 additional hardpoints, which are said to be capable of operating almost all weapons used by the United States.
As a multirole aircraft capable of performing a variety of missions, it has demonstrated its versatility in many areas.
Founded in 1942 as VT-11, then becoming VA-12A in 1946, VA-115 in 1948, and finally developing into the attack squadron VFA-115 in 1996, the Eagles have been operating the F/A-18E since 2002.
They are deployed at Iwakuni Air Base in Japan and are well-known in Japan.
[About the model]
This is a 1/72 scale plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the F/A-18 Super Hornet, a carrier-based fighter jet of the United States Navy.
This model is based on the single-seat F/A-18E.
In addition, this kit includes masking stickers that are convenient for painting the canopy frame.
The finished model has a total length of 253mm and features sharp parts that accurately reproduce the appearance of a modern aircraft.
- The masking stickers, which are convenient for painting, give the canopy frame a clear finish.
Furthermore, the mechanical legs and the detailed interior of the cockpit are not to be missed.
A wide variety of weapons, such as missiles mounted under the wings, are included, creating an impressive and dynamic appearance.
The markings are taken from aircraft belonging to VFA-115 Eagles, a U.S. Navy attack squadron based at Iwakuni Air Base in Japan.
The eagle markings on the tail fin and other details are reproduced using decals made by Cartograf of Italy.
