Incorporating many advanced construction and optimized assembly features such as screw-mounted components, plug-in wings and pre-installed ball links, this Super Hornet is a quick build.
A unique combination of basic materials makes this airplane fantastic.

Four decal sets are included so that you can make a presence at the flight line that’s distinctive.
