About product

F/A-18A/C/D Hornet wheel bays 1:72 (Aires)

A resin detail set of landing gear bays in 1:72 scale from the Czech maker Aires. It is not a kit but an accessory that replaces the simple plastic bays with a faithful replica full of lines, stiffeners and hydraulics. The set is meant to be built into a matching plastic Hornet model.

The real subject

The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet is a multirole carrier aircraft able to fly both fighter and attack missions. The A version is single-seat, the C version a modernized single-seater and the D version a two-seater. On carrier aircraft the landing gear bays are among the exposed places, because they are often visible on a model with the gear extended, and rendering them in detail raises the realism of a build markedly.

Fitting and painting tips

Wash the parts to remove mold release residue, cut off the casting blocks and bond them with super glue. It is best to spray the bays with a base color first, then pick them out with wash paints and go over them with a dry brush. Try the fit dry, because resin inserts sometimes call for small changes to the surrounding plastic.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of the Hornet in 1:72 scale
  • Modelers who want detailed landing gear bays
  • Anyone interested in resin accessories
  • Advanced modelers

This is a resin detail accessory, not a complete model. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
