Meng 1/48 F/A18F Super Hornet "Bounty Hunters" Fighter Kit

Just in time for a certain movie in the cinemas where it is the star, Meng has released the second of its F-18F Super Hornets, exclusively in VF A2 markings.

The combat-proven Super Hornet delivers cutting-edge, next-generation multi-role strike fighter capability, outdistancing current and emerging threats well into the future. The Super Hornet has the capability, flexibility, and performance necessary to modernize the air or naval aviation forces of any country. Two versions of the Super Hornet–the single-seat E model and the two-seat F model–are able to perform virtually every mission in the tactical spectrum, including air superiority, day/night strike with precision-guided weapons, fighter escort, close air support, suppression of enemy air defenses, maritime strike, reconnaissance, forward air control, and tanker missions.

As the latest F/A-18 variants, the F/A-18E/F aircraft have greatly improved electronic equipment and extended combat radius. To perform the missions like air superiority and ground attack and complex tasks including reconnaissance and electronic warfare, the F/A-18F’s rear cockpit weapon systems operator has new advanced cockpit displays and control system. The pilot and the weapon systems operator can perform air-to-air and air-to-ground tasks at the same time. Before the next generation of carrier-based fighters enters service, the F/A-18F will still be the main combat aircraft of the U.S. aircraft carrier battle group.
