Detailed 1/72 F/A-18B Hornet from Hasegawa

The Hasegawa 02436 1/72 F/A-18B Hornet kit presents a faithful miniature of the Top Gun Hornet, with authentic contours and surface detail. This plastic model suits anyone aiming to build a neat, presentation-quality replica of the twin-seat Hornet variant.

Build Characteristics

The kit features finely moulded parts that assemble into smooth surfaces when edges are cleaned and fitted correctly. Attention to canopy masking and engine intake edges will improve the overall realism of the finished model.

Presentation Tips for Collectors

For display, position the model on a small base or stand and protect it with a dust cover to maintain paint and decal condition. Small weathering touches can enhance realism without overwhelming the Top Gun scheme.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic model kit
  • Dimensions: Length and wingspan scaled to 1/72
  • Assembly: Glue required for assembly
  • Paint: Painting recommended for authentic finish
Build time varies with experience and finish level. A straightforward assembly with basic paint can take several evenings, while a display-quality finish will take longer due to painting and decal work.
The kit is very capable as supplied, but modellers seeking extra realism sometimes add photo-etched parts or resin seats for finer cockpit detail and brighter surface features.
Use acrylics or enamels matched to reference photos for the Top Gun scheme. Apply base coats evenly, mask carefully for demarcation lines, and seal with a clear topcoat to protect decals.
