About product

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

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American carrier-borne multirole F/A-18A Hornet in 1:48 scale from Hobby Boss. It is a new mold with a finely engraved surface, clear plastic for the canopy glazing, decals and external stores. The model captures the early single-seat A version of this famous naval strike fighter.

The real subject

The F/A-18 Hornet is an American twin-engine carrier-borne multirole aircraft that combines the roles of fighter and attack aircraft in a single type. The F/A-18A version was the first series single-seat variant to enter service with the US Navy and the Marine Corps. The Hornet is marked out by its pair of canted fins, its capable avionics and a wide range of external stores for air combat and for strikes against ground targets.

Building and painting tips

Use a thin cement for plastic, and glue the clear parts with cyanoacrylate or a special canopy glue. Finish and paint the cockpit before you close up the fuselage. Apply a primer before painting and lay the colors on with an airbrush; with the gray naval schemes you will appreciate a subtle accent on the panel lines and a restrained patina. Paint the external stores and fit them at the end of the build.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of modern American carrier aircraft in 1:48 scale
  • Fans of the Hornet and of US naval aviation
  • Modelers who will appreciate a new mold with external stores
  • Anyone interested in the early single-seat A version

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