Description
The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet is probably the world's most advanced air superiority fighter/attack aircraft, currently in service with the US Navy, the US Marine Corps, the Spanish, Australian, Swiss and Canadian air forces, as well as with several Middle Eastern air arms. With numerous mainstream kits, including those made by Hasegawa and Academy, and a plethora of after-market accessories currently available, the F/A-18 Hornet is a popular choice among scale aircraft model enthusiasts. This title demonstrates how to model the aircraft across a variety of scales, with special hints and tips on modification.
