About product

F/A-18E/F Super Hornet wheel bays 1:48 (Aires)

A resin detail set in 1:48 scale for more experienced modelers. It is not an airplane model but an accessory, the wheel bays, which replaces the simple plastic landing gear bays on a base kit of the American F/A-18E/F Super Hornet carrier-based aircraft. The set brings a fine structure of walls, ribs and lines of the kind that usually does not fit into injection-molded plastic.

What the set is for

The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is an American twin-engine carrier-based multirole combat aircraft, single-seat in the E version and two-seat in the F version. The wheel bays are clearly visible on models from below, and so a resin set with faithfully cast bays markedly lifts the realism of the underside of the airframe compared with the base plastic.

Usage tips

Before gluing, wash the mold release residue off the parts, cut off the casting blocks carefully and sand the surfaces; protect your airways when sanding resin. Bond the resin with super glue (cyanoacrylate) and dry-fit it to the base kit, reckoning with some small reworking. Paints and glue are not included in the package.

Who the set is for

  • more experienced modelers who want to sharpen the landing gear bays of the Super Hornet
  • fans of modern American carrier aviation
  • builders who care about the detail of the underside of a model
  • collectors of resin accessories in 1:48 scale

This is a resin detail set for more experienced modelers, not a complete model. A matching base kit is needed to use it; paints, glue and other accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
