About product

F/A-18A+/B / CF-188 Hornet 1:48 (Kinetic)

Injection-molded plastic kit of the American F/A-18 Hornet carrier-based multirole fighter in 1:48 scale from Kinetic. The box covers the modernized single-seat A+ version, the two-seat B version and the Canadian CF-188 designation. The kit offers a finely worked out cockpit, full intake ducts and the option of building the wings folded. The exact contents and the number of marking options follow the particular release.

The real subject

The F/A-18 Hornet is an American carrier-based multirole fighter able to carry out both fighter and strike tasks. It is powered by two turbofan engines and, thanks to its rugged structure and folding wings, it is suited to operating from aircraft carriers. The designation CF-188 belongs to the version operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force; A+ is the modernized single-seat variant and B the two-seat one.

Building and painting tips

This is a detailed kit with a lot of small parts and precise fits, so work carefully and dry-fit the joints beforehand. Finish and install the cockpit before the fuselage is closed, and fit the glazing after painting, protecting it with masks. Think through whether you want to build the wings spread or folded. We recommend a primer, an airbrush and accentuated panel lines; fit the external stores and the pylons at the end of the build.

Who the model is for

  • For enthusiasts of modern carrier-based aircraft
  • For more experienced modelers, as the kit has small parts and tight fits
  • For collectors who will appreciate the Canadian CF-188 and other variants in one box

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