1/20 jet 64mm EDF F-18 (SIM) Hornet PNP kit

The F/A-18 fighter-attack aircraft, nicknamed 'Hornet,' is a supersonic third-generation jet fighter developed by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) for the U.S. Navy. The F/A-18 features a single-seat/tandem-seat configuration with swept wings and is powered by two turbofan engines. It is a versatile carrier-based
multi-role fighter, the first in the U.S. military to serve both as a fighter and an attack aircraft, with excellent air-to-air, air-to-ground, and air-to-sea attack capabilities. As the most important carrier-based aircraft of the U.S. Navy, it is used for both maritime air defense and ground attack missions. The prototype first flew on June 9, 1974, and it entered service with the U.S. Navy in 1983. Following the retirement of the F-14 fighter on July 28, 2006, the F/A-18 became the sole carrier-based fighter on U.S. aircraft carriers.

The experience of FMS in making 64mm ducted fan aircraft dates back to ten years ago or even earlier. At that time, R&D engineers and professional pilots dedicated a significant amount of testing time to create 64mm F15, 64mm F16, 64mm F/A-18, and 64mm F35 models, all of which dazzled in the skies at flying fields around the world. Fast forward to 2018, FMS responded to the desires of players and carried out a comprehensive upgrade
for all 64mm ducted fan aircraft, from materials to structure. The 64mm ducted fan aircraft V2 became a phenomenal product in the field of small-sized ducted fan aircraft for beginners for a long time. Fast forward to 2023, FMS has embarked on a new journey, starting with 3D drawings and introducing an all-new 64mm F/A-18 with larger dimensions, sleeker contours, and more precise detailing, paying homage to this iconic and renowned multi-role fighter aircraft.

The newly molded 64mm F/A-18 high-fidelity version not only boasts larger dimensions, sleeker contours, and more precise detailing but also brings a substantial improvement in realism.
