Hasegawa 7238AU 1/48 F/A-18F Super Hornet

Hasegawa continues their 1/48 modern jet line with the Super Hornet, and what a job they have done with this kit! 

We begin with a stunningly well-detailed cockpit, including two crew figures with optional heads so you can build the figures with either the current helmet configuration or with the new JHMCS helmet with its built-in sighting visor. 

Features

• Intakes build up with full trunking ending in realistically reproduced compressor faces, and the exhausts are likewise beautifully done. 
• Gear bays are deep and well detailed, and the multi-piece gear assemblies have data stencil decals provided on the decal sheet. 
• Leading- and trailing-edge flaps are separate pieces, with optional TE flap hinges for full-up or full-down positions. Also, hinge pieces are provided so that with a few swipes of the modeling knife you can have the wings folded (diagrams show you exactly where to cut). 
• Stores included are an AN/ASQ-228 ATFLIR pod, four drop tanks, two AMRAAM and two AIM-9X. 
• The canopy can be positioned open or closed, as can the boarding ladder. Decals are for BuNo 166620, AA 103 of VFA-103 Jolly Rogers, BuNo 165882, NF 102 of VFA-102 "Diamondbacks" and BuNo 165878, NF 100 CAG bird from VFA-102.
