Detailed kit insight for the Italeri 1/72 F/A-18 Wild Weasel C/D

The Italeri 1/72 F/A-18 Wild Weasel C/D kit presents an accurate small scale model of the Hornet family with clean panel lines and realistic proportions. Designed to reflect a multi role aircraft, this kit suits modellers wanting a historically inspired display subject that mirrors jets used by naval and allied squadrons.

Operational background and upgrades

Introduced into service during the 1990s, the F/A-18 saw significant use in conflicts like the Gulf War where its upgraded systems and mission flexibility were demonstrated. Those improvements helped it supplant several older aircraft types in various fleets.
