Detailed 1/72 Hornet kit for Blue Angels livery

This Hasegawa 1/72 Blue Angels F/A-18A Hornet model kit is crafted for hobby builders who enjoy accurate scale replicas. The F/A-18A Hornet's reputation for agility is reflected in the kit's streamlined shapes and clear surface definition, rendered in 1/72 scale for display purposes.

Authenticity and lineage

The F/A-18A joined the Blue Angels in 1986 and has been a mainstay at air displays. Hasegawa's model reproduces essential exterior details so modellers can build a recognisable representation of the demo aircraft.

Construction tips and display potential

The parts are finely cast to make assembly straightforward for those comfortable with glue construction. After painting and decal application the completed model stands out in a collection thanks to the vivid blue and yellow scheme.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Polystyrene
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included; recommended to complete the look
Assembly time varies by skill, but expect several evenings for careful work including preparation, painting and decal application.
Minor seam gaps may appear; light filler and sanding will improve panel continuity before painting.
The kit is typically built with fixed landing gear, but some modellers choose to modify gear for a flight display position; this requires careful cutting and reinforcement.
