About product

Aires 1:48 F/A-18E Super Hornet - detail cockpit set

This is an accessory for the build, not an aircraft model. The set replaces the cockpit interior from the production kit with a more finely worked assembly with detailed texture of the panels and instruments. On a modern carrier fighter, which is often built with the canopy open, the cockpit is the most closely watched place on the whole model.

The real subject

The F/A-18E Super Hornet is a single-seat carrier multirole fighter of the US Navy. Compared with the earlier Hornet versions it has a larger airframe, bigger air intakes and longer range. The cockpit is a typical example of the so-called glass cockpit, where screens have replaced conventional dials - and that is exactly the detail where a kit interior usually falls short.

Usage tips

Reckon on the set being intended for more experienced modelers. Compare the parts with the kit dry first and only then sand the mating faces; material often has to come off inside the fuselage halves too. Wash and degrease all the parts before painting, because paint holds badly on an untreated surface. Bond with super glue; conventional cement for plastic has no effect here. Use respiratory protection while sanding and sand damp. Deal with as much of the painting as possible before assembly, as the details will be out of reach afterwards.

Who the set is for

  • Experienced modelers who want an interior beyond what the kit offers.
  • Builders of modern carrier aircraft in 1:48 scale.
  • Modelers building with the canopy open.
  • Anyone not afraid of fitting parts in.

FAQ

It is not. This is an accessory set; the F/A-18E kit in 1:48 scale has to be bought separately.

More experienced modelers are recommended. The parts are bonded with super glue and almost always have to be fitted in by sanding.

Check the specific list of parts against the manufacturer's data on the packaging of the set.

Accessories are designed for one specific kit in a given scale. On a model from another maker, reckon on larger modifications.
