Description
The Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet is a modern twin-engine carrier-capable single-seat fighter directly derived from the original design of the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet. Larger and heavier than its predecessor it is characterized by significantly improved flight and combat performance. Noticeable evolutionary design changes can best be seen in the revised wing-shape which is able to ensure maximum performance particularly in terms of maneuverability. Additional design improvements can also be seen in the newer intake ramps for the engines and also in the enhanced tail design. The aircraft originally entered service with the United States Navy in the early 2000s to replace the F-14 Tomcat with the primary role of fleet air defense. Deployed with an increased mission range and the adoption of improved avionic systems it is one of the more effective carrier-based fighters. It is armed with a 20mm M61 internal gun and can carry air-to-air missiles mounted on its under-wing hard points. The two-seater F / A-18F Super Hornet was designed and developed from its earlier single-seat version. The aircraft demonstrated a high level of operational flexibility including fleet air defense ground attack close support and interdiction roles.
Brand
Italeri
Italeri was founded in the early 60's, with that enthusiasm that only the unbridled passion of youth can create. Since they were boys, the two founders of Italeri, Giuliano Malservisi and Gian Pietro Parmeggiani loved airplanes and military vehicles. Soon they were no longer satisfied with the models available at the time: they wanted something more and better. What they wanted was not available, so they decided to produce it themselves. Their hobby turned into an accurate research, and became the motivating force to produce the models that modelers want, with no imperfections whatsoever.
