About the actual aircraft
The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet was developed as an advanced version of the F/A-18C/D Hornet and began deployment in 1999. Compared to the C/D model, it features a larger airframe and increased fuel tank capacity to extend its range. It is equipped with two F414-GE400 turbofan engines. In addition to a fixed armament of one 20mm M61A1 Vulcan cannon, the larger airframe has 11 additional hardpoints, which are said to be capable of handling almost all of the weapons used by the United States, including air-to-air missiles such as the AIM-120A, air-to-ground missiles such as the AGM-65E, and bombs. VFA-81 Sunliners, a strike fighter squadron of Carrier Air Wing 1 based at Naval Air Station Oceana, operates the single-seat F/A-18E. It has proven itself as a multirole aircraft capable of performing a variety of missions.

About the Model
This is a 1/72 scale plastic model assembly kit of the US Navy's carrier-based fighter, the F/A-18 Super Hornet. It models the single-seat F/A-18E. The finished model has a total length of 253mm and the sharp parts reproduce the appearance of the current aircraft in detail. Not only the shape of the fuselage, but also the panel lines are well expressed. Furthermore, the mechanical landing gear and the detailed interior of the cockpit are not to be missed. In addition, this kit includes masking stickers that are convenient for painting the canopy frame. Sharp paint separation enhances the realism of the finished product. The markings reproduce the VFA-81 Sunliners markings, from the distinctive markings on the tail fin to the fine markings on each part. The decals are made by Cartograf, a high-quality company. This is a kit that airplane fans should not miss.
