Hobby Boss F/A-18C RAAF 1/48 HB-85809


Recommended Posts

RAAF has never operated C version. Much upgraded A/B versions only. I haven’t built the HB offering but I believe it’s still the poor copy of the Hasegawa kit with newer decals.  If the differences between A and C versions are important to you then it’s probably not your best choice.

Nice info, appreciate your feed back.

Exactly the RAAF Hornets are arguably the most advanced A's around... The tails will be wrong and I'm fairly certain the HB C model doesn't have the required ejection seat, IFF antennas et al.

 

The Kinetic A/B will be the best bet. Alternatively, the old faithful Hasegawa with the M sprue should do you wonders...
