F/A-18C Hornet 1/72 Diecast Model

This new 1/72 scale diecast model replicates the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18C Hornet flown by US Marine Corps squadron VMFA-232 Red Devils in 2014. It features diecast metal and plastic construction with realistic panel lines, antennas and surface details. The model includes a pilot figure, opening canopy, detachable landing gear and detachable ordnance loads. It arrives in the manufacturer's original unopened packaging with a display stand.

Collectors Seeking Detailed Carrier Jets

The model suits adult collectors and military history enthusiasts who value officially licensed accuracy and true-to-scale detail in a display piece. Movable features such as the opening canopy and detachable gear add interactive interest. Buyers who want larger scales, different squadrons or aircraft without carrier-specific ordnance should look at other options.

9.25 Inch Length Defines Display Footprint

The model measures approximately 9.25 inches long with a 6.25 inch wingspan, so the available shelf or cabinet space decides whether this is the right part. These dimensions fix the physical footprint and the visual presence alongside other 1/72 scale aircraft. Verify your display area matches these measurements before purchase.

Questions about this item

How is the display stand installed, and what step is often missed?

The stand clips into a recess on the underside of the fuselage; the step often missed is lowering the detachable landing gear first so the model sits level on the stand.

What maintenance will the diecast metal and plastic construction need later?

Occasional dusting with a soft brush keeps panel lines and surface details clear; no lubrication or further upkeep is required for the materials used.

What limit appears first during sustained display of the 1/72 scale model?

Prolonged direct sunlight can fade the VMFA-232 Red Devils markings before any structural issue arises from the diecast construction.
