Academy Models 12547 F/A-18E VFA-143 Pukin Dogs 1/72 Scale Model Kit

The Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornet is the US Navy’s frontline multi-role fleet fighter. Scaled up in size from the F/A-18A-D Hornet, the Super Hornet has more power, range, and payload than its predecessors. The F/A-18E replaces several aircraft including earlier Hornets in the strike and night/all-weather strike missions. Classified as a generation 4.5 fighter, Boeing has continued development of the Super Hornet to create a Gen 4.75 variant that incorporates several improvements in avionics, low-observability, and engine performance. These improvements will keep the Super Hornet in the front lines to provide air defense as well as precision strike alongside the F-35 Lightning II as it enters fleet service.
