Italeri 1385 - 1/72 F/A-18 Hornet Commemorative Scale Model  [IT-1385S]

Scale representation by Italeri - 1/72 F/A-18 Hornet (1385)

This Italeri 1/72 model recreates the F/A-18 Hornet that carried a special livery during the Swiss Air Force centenary events in 2014 at Payerne. The anniversary attracted large crowds and a packed flying display schedule. The kit offers a compact scale project for modellers who want a faithful miniature of that event aircraft.

Build notes and historical context

The Hornet is notable for its adaptable design and this edition highlights a one-off paint scheme rather than an operational camouflage. The kit provides proportionate parts and surface detail suitable for modellers who enjoy weathering, panel shading and accurate marking work to bring the anniversary jet to life.
