Hasegawa 00440 - 1/72 Blue Angels F/A-18A Hornet Model Kit - Collector Grade Replica  [HA-00440]

1/72 scale Blue Angels F/A-18A Hornet plastic kit

The Hasegawa 1/72 Blue Angels F/A-18A Hornet model kit is intended for builders who want a faithful small scale representation of the famous demonstration jet. The Hornet's aerodynamic silhouette and bold Blue Angels colours are presented clearly in this 1/72 offering.

Service history and modelling fidelity

The F/A-18A has been part of the Blue Angels since 1986, and this kit reflects that era with appropriate external detailing. The scale ensures recognizable panel lines and shapes while remaining compact enough for display cases.

Build workflow and finishing advice

Expect a rewarding build if you take time with trimming and test-fitting. Use fine brushes or an airbrush for the deep blue tones, and seal decals with a clear coat for a neat, durable finish suitable for shelves or cabinets.
