Hasegawa 02181 - 1/72 CF-18A Hornet: A Compact Anniversary Replica

The Hasegawa 02181 CF-18A Hornet presents a faithful 1/72 interpretation of the jet used in anniversary displays. The small scale keeps parts manageable while still offering satisfying surface and cockpit detail for careful assembly.

Modelling Appeal and Historical Context

The CF-18A Hornet is prized for its multi role capability and clean lines, making it a favourite subject for scale modellers. Its inclusion in commemorative events underlines the aircrafts ceremonial role, and this kit lets you reproduce that look with authentic decals.

Accuracy and Detail

Engineered for realism, the Hasegawa CF-18A Hornet kit includes crisply moulded panels and accurate stencil placement. The commemorative livery decals add a distinct finish that suits display shelves or club show entries.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Decals: Commemorative livery included

How long does assembly usually take?

Assembly time varies by skill, but expect several evenings for a neat finish including painting and decalling. Allow extra time for panel line washes and final weathering if desired.

Are aftermarket upgrades recommended?

The kit is well detailed out of the box, but modellers seeking extra realism can add photoetched seat belts, resin wheels or vacformed canopies from specialist suppliers.

Can the kit be adapted for dioramas?

Yes. The compact scale lends itself to airfield dioramas with ground crew, support equipment and simple tarmac bases to highlight the anniversary livery.

What glues and tools are best?

Use a good quality liquid polystyrene cement for structural joins and a fine brush-on adhesive for small parts. A sharp hobby knife, sanding sticks and fine files will help achieve clean seams.
