by Roland Sachsenhofer on July 3, 2024 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

by Dan Lee on May 11, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

INTRODUCTION The F/A-18E Hornet aka the Super Bug is the main 4.5 Generation Fighter of the US Navy. It's a much better plane than its predecessor (the earlier legacy Hornets) in terms of performance and range as well as carrying a more [...]

by Spiros Pendedekas on May 6, 2024 · in Aviation · 40 ≡

The origins of the F/A-18 can be traced back in summer 1973, where the Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger ordered the Navy to evaluate the YF-16 and YF-17 competitors in the Air Force's Lightweight Fighter (LWF) program, in order to [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 F-18D Hornet

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on April 5, 2024 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

Hasegawa's Hornet is a challenging model. The mold is well detailed with a fine recessed panel surface, but has a few fit issues. Nonetheless, it is an impressive model like this great aircraft.

RCAF CF-188B Hornet in 1/48

A build of Kinetic's 1/48 scale F-18A/B kit as aircraft '934' of the Royal Canadian Air Force, based at Bagotville, Quebec. This was a special build project for me as I was lucky enough to fly in 934 with 425 Squadron in May 2023 while [...]

by Brian Powell on February 24, 2023 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Academy 1/72 F/A-18B Hornet, 2OCU RAAF – Tiger Scheme

by Michael Drover on August 9, 2022 · in Aviation · 20 ≡
