NASA F-18 Hornet
NASA F-18 Hornet for the Hasegawa/Kinetic/HobbyBoss/Revell/Monogram kit
NASA has operated a fleet of F/A-18 "legacy" Hornets for various flight research activities for years. These aircraft play a very important role for exploring new technologies and concepts in aviation - not to mention that they look great in the NASA color scheme! In this sheet, we provide markings for six NASA Hornets - both single and twin seaters, some with special markings for specific research programs.
For the most part these aircraft are regular A & B model legacy Hornets. The instructions clearly explain the additional parts you may require for some of the options (the buddy refueling pod for 847, and optional travel pods).We designed this sheet to fit the Hasegawa kit, but it should work with Kinetic, Hobby Boss and Revell/Monogram kits as well as any other dimensionally accurate 1/48 scale F-18A/B kit in the market.
The options on this decal sheet are:
- NASA F-18A "843"
- NASA F-18B "845" Systems Research Aircraft (SRA)
- NASA F-18B "846" - Armstrong Flight Research Center
- NASA F-18A "847" AAR (Automated Aerial Refueling) program markings
- NASA F-18A "850"
- NASA F-18B "852" - Dryden Flight Research Center
Accurate stencilling and national insignia to build any one of the options is included. This sheet was professionally screen printed by Cartograf in Italy.
