Quinta Studio QP72006 F/A-18A/B/C/D tail reinforcement plates (all kits) 1/72 – Set of Tail Reinforcement Plates

The Quinta Studio QP72006 set is a high-quality scale modeling accessory dedicated to accurately replicating the characteristic tail reinforcement plates (so-called "scab plates") found on the F/A-18A, F/A-18B, F/A-18C, and F/A-18D aircraft. The set is designed in 1/72 scale and is compatible with all popular model kits of these aircraft available on the market, regardless of the manufacturer.

F/A-18 Hornet aircraft are multi-role fighters produced since the late 1970s by the American company McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing). The A, B, C, and D variants were widely used by the United States Navy, United States Marine Corps, as well as the air forces of Australia, Finland, Canada, Spain, Switzerland, and Kuwait. Aircraft in this family have participated in numerous armed conflicts from the Cold War era up to the present day, including Operation Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom, and in Libya.

The presented Quinta Studio detail set is made from the highest quality photo-etched materials and precisely replicates the reinforcing panels that have been widely installed on real F/A-18 aircraft since the 1990s to extend their structural lifespan. Realistic appearance, high accuracy, and minimal plate thickness ensure a perfect fit to your model while maintaining full dimensional accuracy with the original.
