Description

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.

Academy's 1/72 scale model kit faithfully captures the F/A-18D's twin-seat configuration and sleek lines with detailed panel details. 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.
