This is an injection-plastic jet aircraft model kit.
The Blue Angels is the U.S. Navy's world-class aerobatic team. Based at the Naval Air Station at Pensacola, Flordia, the Blue Angels were founded in 1946. This team demonstrates the high skill of U.S. Navy pilots; in particular, the Blue Angels are known for their dense formation flights, where the aircraft fly so close to each other than they almost touch! The team has always used the main fighter aircraft of the era; the first aircraft used was the F6F, and the Hornet was used starting in 1986. The early model F/A-18A/B was used first, with the C/D type used starting in 2011; the E/F type Super Hornet has been used since 2021.
This model kit from Platz reproduces the masterpiece carrier-based fighter F/A-18C Hornet used by the U.S. Navy! This is the single-seat type of F/A-18C. The kit parts are made by F-Toys, with their characteristic realistic reproduction of the Hornet's sharp shape; decals are included for the Blue Angels' iconic yellow lines and other markings. The kit can be assembled in flight or parked form, too. Order yours today!
