"Newest US fighter in service [in 1982]"
The latest in fighter technology, the McDonnell Douglas F-18 is designed to meet the demands of combat aircraft for years to come. With the attack capabilities of an A-7 Corsair, and the combat capabilities of a Phantom, the Hornet is less complicated to service and less costly than past fighter aircraft. The Hornet is going into front-line service with the Navy and Marine squadrons in 1981. This model carries the colorful red and white markings of marine prototype aircraft number six. As of 2010, the Navy's Blue Angels are F-18 Hornets, although this kit does not include Blue Angel markings.
Model is unassembled, mostly unpainted, and believed to be complete. Two tiny pieces have a small bit of chrome paint on them, but it won't be visible when painting the kit to your tastes anyway. Box has been opened but is in good shape. Instructions and decals are included. Virtually all plastic parts are still attached to their trees. Model is sold as-is; no refunds.
I bought this kit new as a youngster, but lost interest before I got around to assembling it. I'm finally cleaning house.
Asking $15 or best offer. Watch for my other plastic model sales. I'll combine shipping if one buyer takes multiple models. Boxed alone, this model will fit nicely inside a USPS "if it fits, it ships" box, so shipping will be $10 anywhere inside the United States, for a total of $25. If you choose to go that route, simply click the "buy now" button below to pay me through PayPal. If you're outside the USA, or if you're combining shipping with multiple models, then please email me and do not click on the "buy now" button. Either way, please make sure that I get your current shipping address (no PO boxes).
