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

This Hasegawa kit reproduces the Super Hornet at 1/72 scale with attention to surface detail and panel lines. It is aimed at modellers who value accurate silhouette and scale-correct proportions for contemporary aircraft.

Role in Fleet Operations

The F/A-18F performs a broad spectrum of missions aboard carrier air wings, combining strike and support duties. The model reflects the aircraft's operational flexibility, making it a good reference for modern military aviation collections.

Build Quality and Detailing Potential

Moulding quality helps reduce clean-up while providing cockpit and external fittings ready for paint. Modelmakers can expand the kit with weathering, canopy masking and fine brushwork to achieve a realistic result.

Collector Value and Presentation Tips

At this scale, the Super Hornet is compact yet detailed enough for display cases or grouped collections. Consider a small stand or flight base to show off the aircraft's profile in flight stance.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Recommended for authentic appearance
  • Parts: Detailed cockpit and exterior features
Yes, the 1/72 scale and panel detail make it a solid candidate for carrier deck or tarmac dioramas when paired with appropriate figures and accessories.
Some minor seam cleanup is normal. Light sanding and minimal filler on panel joins will improve the final appearance without major additional work.
Neutral greys and muted tones are typical for modern naval schemes. Test small samples and use reference photos to match the 'TopGun' markings accurately.
Control surfaces are usually moulded in neutral positions; with careful trimming and pinning you can pose flaps or ailerons, but proceed cautiously to maintain fit.
