Hobby Master 1/72 US Marine Corps McDonnell Douglas F/A-18A++ Hornet 162442 (HA3562)

Description

Up for sale is a brand new 1:72 scale US Marine Corps McDonnell Douglas F/A-18A++ Hornet 162442 (HA3562) by Hobby Master.

In June 5, 2019 a photo shoot took place over the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The aircraft involved were F/A-18++ 162442 from the VMFA-314 “Black Knights” and F-35C 169601 that would soon be transferred to VMFA-314. The F-35C was piloted by Captain Tommy Beau Locke from Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 125 “Rough Raiders” while the F/A-18++ 162442 was piloted by Lieutenant Colonel Cedar Hinton, CAG for VMFA-314. This was a symbolic gesture of passing the torch from the old to the new.

This model air-plane is made from die-cast metal and include extensive detailing. It is similar in quality to Corgi, Gemini Jets, JC Wings, Witty Wings, Century Wings, NG Models and Aviation72.
