HBB80322 - Hobbyboss - 1/48 F/A-18D Hornet 

This is HobbyBoss kit No. 80322, a 1/48 scale representation of the F/A-18D Hornet. The kit is known for its strong external detailing, finely engraved panel lines, and a wide selection of underwing weapons, making it attractive for builders who enjoy heavily loaded modern USMC strike configurations. It includes a detailed landing gear, positionable control surfaces, optional ordnance such as AIM-9 Sidewinders, AIM-7 Sparrows, AGM-88 HARMs, JDAMs, and GBU-series bombs, as well as fuel tanks and targeting pods. The cockpit is provided in a two-seat configuration appropriate to the D model, though some modelers note that the detailing can benefit from aftermarket upgrades if a highly refined cockpit is desired.
