- Introduced in January of 1983, the F/A-18 Hornet is a multi-purpose combat jet operating with the U.S. Navy and Marines. The aircraft participated in both the Gulf War and Iraq War, and is still in service around the world, including the United States. It can perform both fighter and attack duties, powerfully equipped with a wide variety of bombs, in addition to air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles. More than 1,400 units have been built and it has spawned the more modern variant, the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. This 1/72 scale, Hobby Master, die cast model is a reproduction of an F/A-18A operating with the Royal Australian Air Force's No. 75 Squadron 'Magpies' during Operation Basille in 2003. It features signature engraved panel lines, an opening canopy, a removable pilot figure, a well-equipped cockpit including a detailed instrument panel, full weapons complement, optional-position landing gear, authentic markings, and a mid-flight display stand. Measures approximately 9.25 in long with a 6.25 in wingspan.
