About product

F/A-18A Hornet cockpit set 1:72 (Aires)

This resin set from Aires in 1:72 scale replaces the cockpit of the kit with an accurate tub, instrument panel, side consoles and ejection seat. The parts match the single-seat F/A-18A version. It is an accessory to be built into a kit, not a model in its own right.

The real subject

The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet is an American twin-engine carrier-based multirole fighter able to perform both fighter and attack tasks. The F/A-18A version is single-seat and is the first production form of this type. The cockpit is marked by a modern layout with multifunction displays.

Building and painting tips

Wash the parts to remove the mold release agent, cut off the casting blocks and bond them with super glue (cyanoacrylate). The cockpit is painted dark gray, and the instrument panels are brought out with a wash and a dry brush. Extra decals or photo-etched parts for the instruments add realism. Protect your airways while sanding.

Who the set is for

  • Advanced modelers building the F/A-18A in 1:72 scale
  • Anyone who wants an accurate single-seat cockpit
  • Modelers used to working with resin and super glue

This is a resin accessory for a kit, not an airplane model. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
