Hasegawa 00439 1/72 Scale F/A-18D Hornet Plastic Model  [HA-00439]

Kit guide for Hasegawa 1/72 D9 F/A-18D Hornet

The Hasegawa 1/72 F/A-18D Hornet model provides an authentic small-scale build that replicates the aircrafts dual-role layout. This 00439 kit emphasises panel lines and cockpit features, giving modellers a realistic foundation for weathering and display.

Scale fidelity and cockpit detail

The F/A-18D is recognised for its operational versatility and two-seat trainer/mission role. Hasegawa captures those traits in miniature, offering finely moulded parts that reflect the jets structure and allow for a convincing finished model when painted and decaled.

Building tips and presentation

Expect a methodical build: careful trimming, test-fitting and glue application will improve fit. Finished models show well on a shelf or in a diorama, where the kit's accurate lines and cockpit detail stand out under closer inspection.
