Italeri 1/72 F/A-18E Super Hornet - Modern naval jet in 1/72 scale

The Italeri 1/72 F/A-18E Super Hornet kit reproduces the outline and surface detail of the contemporary fighter in a compact scale. The parts fit together to recreate the key features of the airframe for display builds.

Streamlined shape and stealth-inspired details

This kit emphasises the Super Hornets streamlined aerodynamics and subtle stealth elements. Careful assembly will show the intake shaping and fuselage lines that give the type its reduced signature appearance.

Background and design purpose

Developed to improve on earlier models, the Super Hornet represents a more capable carrier fighter. The Italeri kit is a practical way to add this evolution to a modern military aircraft collection.

Is this kit suitable for display dioramas?

Yes, the 1/72 scale and accurate outlines make it a good candidate for carrier deck or modern airbase dioramas when combined with suitable base materials and accessories.

What adhesives and tools are recommended?

Use plastic cement for strong joints, fine files and sanding sticks for seam work, and quality brushes or an airbrush for clean paint application at this scale.

Can the kit be weighted for realistic stance?

At 1/72 scale the model is light, but a small amount of ballast in the nose can help achieve a realistic ground attitude if you plan a parked display with landing gear down.
