About product

McDonnell Douglas F/A-18C Hornet 1:48 (Hobby Boss)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the modern American carrier-borne multirole fighter F/A-18C Hornet in 1:48 scale from Hobby Boss. The model captures the single-seat version of the Hornet with a detailed cockpit, finely engraved panel lines, clear canopy parts and external stores. Check the exact package contents against the enclosed instructions.

The real subject

The F/A-18 Hornet is an American twin-engine carrier-borne multirole fighter that handles both air combat and attacks on ground targets. The F/A-18C version is the single-seat form of the so-called legacy Hornet (as opposed to the later and larger Super Hornet). It serves with the US Navy and the Marine Corps and with a number of other users; it is valued for its reliability and its wide range of uses.

Building and painting tips

Glue the parts with liquid cement for plastic and the clear parts with cyanoacrylate. Paint the cockpit and the instrument panel before you close the fuselage; the canopy can be built open and protected with a mask during spraying. Fit the external stores and the tanks only after painting. A primer and an airbrush are recommended; modern gray camouflage comes out well after a light emphasis of the panels with a wash and a slight graying of the transitions.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of modern American carrier aircraft
  • Those interested in multirole fighters in 1:48 scale
  • Builders with intermediate experience

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
