About product

Hobby Boss F/A-18F Super Hornet 1:48

An injection-molded plastic kit in 1:48 scale from Hobby Boss. It captures the two-seat F version of the F/A-18F Super Hornet carrier-based multirole aircraft. The kit has a finely engraved surface texture, a glazed canopy from clear parts, a detailed two-seat cockpit and landing gear bays; photo-etched seat belts complete the seats. It is an extensive kit with a large number of parts.

The real subject

The Super Hornet is the larger and more modern development of the original F/A-18C/D Hornet with a lengthened fuselage and an increased wing area, which created room for fuel and further equipment. It entered service with the US Navy at the end of the 1990s and gradually replaced the F-14 Tomcat carrier fighter. The two-seat F version has a second crew member (a weapons systems officer) behind the pilot and handles air combat as well as strike tasks.

Building and painting tips

Use liquid modeling cement on the joints of the plastic parts. Mask the glazed canopy before painting, unify the whole model with a primer and apply the shades with an airbrush. It is best to glue and paint the external stores and the tanks separately and to fit them at the very end, once the decals and a matte coat are on.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of contemporary jet combat aircraft.
  • Modelers with experience of the larger 1:48 scale.
  • Anyone interested in the aircraft of American naval aviation.
  • Builders who will appreciate a richly broken-down cockpit and external stores.

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

FAQ

It is the two-seat F version, which has a second crew member behind the pilot. That is what sets it apart from the single-seat E version.

Yes, photo-etched seat belts for the seats are included. The rest of the kit consists of injection-molded plastic and clear cockpit parts.

It is a fairly extensive kit with a larger number of parts. A moderately advanced modeler with the patience for the armament and for masking the canopy will manage it.
