Hobby Boss 1/48 RAAF F/A-18C: Builder Summary

The Hobby Boss 1/48 RAAF F/A-18C kit reproduces the Hornet with crisp panel lines and well-defined surfaces. It is intended for modellers who appreciate accuracy and enjoy the process of precise assembly and finishing.

Model Significance and Accuracy

The F/A-18C's proven multi-role design is rendered faithfully here, letting builders showcase a modern combat jet in a compact, displayable scale. Detail levels support close-up inspection once painted.

Tips for Assembly and Presentation

Careful trimming of parts and dry-fitting will improve final joins. Consider pre-shading and light weathering to enhance depth, then display the completed model on a stand or alongside other scale aircraft.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly Required: Yes, glue needed
  • Paint: Not included, recommended for realism
The kit offers a recognisable cockpit shell; painting and minor aftermarket bits can improve realism but the stock cockpit reads well at normal display distance.
Fit is generally accurate but some areas benefit from careful sanding and trial assembly to eliminate visible seams before painting.
Subtle panel line washes, a flat clear coat, and neat decal application bring out surface detail and create a convincing scale appearance.
