Overview

The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18D Hornet is a versatile two-seat strike fighter used extensively by the U.S. Marine Corps for a variety of missions, including close air support, reconnaissance, and air defence. Its combat-proven design and twin-engine reliability make it a potent asset in modern military aviation. This kit offers a unique opportunity to model a USMC Hornet with optional Australian markings, highlighting the close ties between the two nations' armed forces.

The kit features an intricate cockpit, enhancing the realism of the model. With over 140 parts, this kit provides a rewarding build and includes high-quality decals for both standard US Marine Corps squadrons and unique Royal Australian Air Force markings, offering versatile and interesting display options.
