Italeri 1385 1/72 F/A-18 Hornet - Swiss Air Force tribute

The Italeri 1/72 F/A-18 Hornet kit recreates the jet that wore a special commemorative finish for the Swiss Air Force centenary in 2014 at Payerne. The four day event included numerous displays and attracted very large numbers of visitors. This model lets modellers reproduce the distinctive anniversary colours on a compact, displayable platform.

Model highlights and context

The F/A-18 is recognised for its performance and adaptability. This boxed kit focuses on a celebratory livery variant, offering clean outlines and detailing that suit careful painting and marking. It is appealing to those who collect commemorative and anniversary editions of modern military aircraft.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Required
  • Paint: Not included
The decals supplied are designed to replicate the commemorative markings used in 2014. Results depend on decal handling, so prepare the surface and use a setting solution for best adhesion.
Standard plastic cement works for the main assembly. Fine tweezers, a hobby knife and sandpaper help with small parts. Use cyanoacrylate for aftermarket resin details if required.
Yes, with careful painting, panel shading and decal application the finished model presents well on a shelf. Apply a gloss base for decals then protect the finish with a clear coat of your preferred sheen.
