The
F/A-18 Hornet has several under wing hardpoints for weapons, and it’s a great
attack aircraft with air to surface missiles and bombs and superb air to air
fighting capability. The Hornet
exists in four versions:
- The
F/A-18A single seat fighter/attack aircraft.
- The
F/A-18B is a two seat version.
- The
F/A-18C single seater with additional electronic warfare system.
- The
F/A-18D two seater version with night intercept capability.
My
model aircraft is a CF-18A Hornet of the CANADIAN ARMED FORCES.
The
model is very beautiful!!!!
The
perfection of the mold is extraordinary. Just finished the cockpit, I have joined the fuselage, and I
have seen that the filler was almost superfluous!!!!!
The
landing gear legs are cast in metal, and with well defined detail.
The painting is very simple:
The
upper part of the fuselage is in grayish blue (FS 35237), and the lower part is
in light grey (FS 36375). When I
finished the painting. I have applied the gloss clear paint, useful when
applying the decals. Finished
the proceeding, I have washed everything with the temper black.
