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 operating 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. It has shown a wide range of activity as a multirole aircraft that can perform various missions with just one aircraft. Established in 1967, the US Navy's attack squadron VFA-27 has been operating the F\/A-18E since 2004. Deployed at Iwakuni Air Base in Japan, it has become a familiar sight in Japan. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Model\u003cbr\u003eThis kit is a 1\/72 scale plastic model assembly kit of the US Navy's carrier-based fighter, the F\/A-18 Super Hornet, combined with a detail-enhancing photo-etched parts set. It's a more convenient and cost-effective set than purchasing the parts separately. The kit models the single-seat F\/A-18E with a finished length of 253mm. Not only is the aircraft shape accurately reproduced, but a wide variety of armament is also included. The photo-etched parts are Platz original designs and include parts to express details such as the instrument panel, side console panels, and landing gear bays. Furthermore, deck crew figures on the flight deck are also reproduced using photo-etching. They are pre-printed and enhance the atmosphere even when simply placed next to the finished model. The markings are taken from aircraft belonging to the US Navy attack squadron VFA-27 Royal Maces, stationed at Iwakuni Air Base in Japan. This kit, featuring decals from Cartograf and including photo-etched parts, allows you to easily enjoy a high-quality Super Hornet. \u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n ■Product Specifications\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Manufacturer: Platz\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Item No: AE-56\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Size: Finished product size, total length approximately 253mm\u003cbr\u003ePackage size 250 x 378 x 70mm\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Product Specifications: Features\u003cbr\u003e●Reproduces the F\/A18-E Super Hornet in 1\/72 scale\u003cbr\u003e●Finished total length is 253mm\u003cbr\u003e●Detail-up etching parts are also included in the set\u003cbr\u003e●Etching parts are made by Eduard, Platz Design\u003cbr\u003e●Markings are selected from VFA-27 Royal Maces aircraft\u003cbr\u003e●Decals are made by Cartograf\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Scale: 1\/72\u003cbr\u003e\r\n JAN: 4545782131758\u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n ■Remarks\u003cbr\u003e\r\n ・Some items are available in limited quantities, so please forgive us if they are out of stock. \u003cbr\u003e・Release dates, prices, product names, etc. may change without notice.
