1/72 F/A-18B Hornet by Hasegawa - Top Gun Livery

The Hasegawa 02436 1/72 F/A-18B Hornet recreates the famous Top Gun jet with sharp panel detail and proportionate geometry. This scale kit gives modellers a realistic canvas to replicate the Hornet's twin-engine profile and film-era markings.

Construction and Fit Advice

Expect well-defined parts that require careful cleaning and test-fitting. Use proper plastic cement and fine filling where needed to preserve panel definition and ensure accurate alignment of wings and fuselage.

How it Sits on Display

Completed models present strongly on a shelf or in a cabinet due to correct scale proportions and crisp markings. Consider a simple display stand to recreate a parked or launch posture for greater visual interest.

  • Material: Injection-moulded plastic

Will I need advanced tools to build the Hasegawa 02436 kit?

Basic modelling tools will handle most tasks, but small files, fine brushes and a steady hand improve the finish. For seam work, sanding sticks and putty are recommended.

Does the kit include Top Gun style decals and stencils?

The kit includes decals that mirror the Top Gun markings. For the best results, apply decals to a gloss surface and seal them with a clear varnish.

How should I preserve painted details after finishing?

Finish with a clear topcoat suited to the paint type. A light coat of satin or gloss varnish will protect decals and paint while keeping surface detail visible.
