Italeri 71016 F/A-18 C/D – ZESTAW MODELARSKI 1:72

Italeri 71016 F/A-18 C/D is a complete offer for beginner and intermediate modelers who wish to build a precise replica of the famous multirole fighter jet in 1:72 scale. The model depicts both C and D variants of the renowned F/A-18 Hornet – one of the icons of modern combat aviation. The aircraft, designed by McDonnell Douglas/Boeing, is used by the U.S. armed forces (US Navy, US Marine Corps), as well as by many other NATO countries, including Switzerland, Finland, Spain, and Australia.

F/A-18 C/D fighters played a key role in conflicts such as the Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm, 1991), actions in the Balkans, and military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. They have served continuously from the mid-1980s up to the present day, fulfilling both fighter and ground support roles.

This set, created by the renowned company Italeri, is made from high-quality plastic (polystyrene), ensuring perfect parts fit and model durability. A big advantage of this product is that you get a complete starter model kit — in the box you will find not just all the parts needed for assembly, but also a brush, glue, and several basic acrylic paints, which allow you to start your build right after opening the box. The kit is completed by professionally prepared decals – allowing you to personalize your model with authentic military unit markings.
