Italeri 1/48 F/A-18E Super Hornet - accurate modern naval aircraft model

This Italeri 1/48 F/A-18E Super Hornet kit supplies modellers with accurate plastic components that reflect the look of a contemporary carrier fighter. The kit is aimed at hobbyists who want a convincing miniature of this widely used combat jet.

Historical role and kit representation

The Super Hornet was introduced to extend fleet capability with upgraded avionics and increased operational range. Italeri captures characteristic features such as the updated wing planform and intake shapes to echo the real aircrafts profile.

Kit contents and display considerations

Included are decal options for three marking schemes plus a colour instruction sheet to guide finishing. Careful assembly and paintwork produce a model well suited to display among modern military aircraft collections.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Decals: Includes options for three versions
Essential tools include sprue cutters, hobby knife, sanding sticks, and plastic cement. Fine brushes and masking tape help achieve neater paintwork.
Yes, the moulded panel lines and surface detail take washes and drybrushing well, allowing you to create realistic operational weathering effects.
The box contents are sufficient for a high-quality build. For extra detail you can add aftermarket resin or photo-etch items, but they are not required for a convincing result.
