Hasegawa 1/72 F/A-18F Super Hornet 'TopGun' modelling kit

This Hasegawa 1/72 Super Hornet kit provides a scaled study of a current naval fighter, designed with clear panel detail and well-defined components. Builders get a compact yet accurate subject to paint, weather and display.

Operational Background and Role

The twin-seat F/A-18F serves in a wide range of roles across carrier wings, from strike missions to escort duties. This kit highlights the aircraft's modern lines and service role, offering context for model displays and dioramas.

Assembly Experience for Hobbyists

Components are engineered for precise alignment, with separate cockpit fittings and exterior surfaces that respond well to careful finishing. The kit encourages paint, decals and optional detailing to reach a museum-style appearance.

Display Considerations and Collecting

At 1/72 scale the Super Hornet balances detail and space efficiency, fitting neatly in mixed collections of contemporary jets. A well-executed build will pair nicely with runway bases or carrier deck dioramas.
