Compact 1/72 F/A-18 Hornet kit for Blue Angels fans

This Hasegawa 1/72 Blue Angels F/A-18A Hornet model kit gives hobbyists a chance to recreate the well known demo jet in miniature. The F/A-18A Hornet is celebrated for its nimble handling and performance, and this kit captures the aircrafts clean lines and bold Blue Angels paintwork at 1/72 scale.

Design heritage and scale accuracy

The Hornet has flown with the Blue Angels since 1986, and this Hasegawa kit reflects that lineage with parts shaped to mirror the real airframe. At 1/72 scale the contours and panel lines are reproduced so collectors can appreciate the proportions and form of the original aircraft.

Assembly notes and finished display

Assembly rewards careful modelling: the kit includes crisply molded components that slot and glue together with minimal fuss. After painting and applying decals the finished model makes an attractive shelf piece for aviation displays, thanks to the striking blue and yellow colour scheme.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Polystyrene
  • Assembly: Glue required

This kit is best for modelers with some experience. The parts fit well, but careful trimming, gluing and painting are needed to achieve a clean result.
Yes, the kit includes decals to reproduce the Blue Angels markings. Apply decals after sealing and base painting for best adhesion.
Use gloss and semi-gloss acrylics or enamels in deep navy blue and bright yellow to match the Blue Angels scheme. A primer and a clear coat will help the decals sit smoothly.
