Warbirds 1/72 - F-18E Super Hornet (Gunslingers) Features: - 1/72 Authentic Scale - High Quality Diecast Metal - Historically Accurate - Detailed Cockpits - Pre-assembled The carrier-based fighter/attack aircraft, the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, entered U.S. Navy service in 1999. It’s a very different aircraft to its predecessor the F/A-18 Hornet, being larger and more advanced. All the Navy’s F-14 Tomcat squadrons have now converted to the Super Hornet, with operational versions being the F/A-18E single-seater or F/A-18F two-seater. One squadron that flies the former is VFA-105 “Gunslingers”, which is based at NAS Oceana in Virginia. In fact it was the first East Coast squadron to transition to the Super Hornet, this taking place in July 2006. The “Gunslingers” also has the distinction of being the first operational Navy strike fighter squadron to be commanded by a female, when Commander Sara Joyner took command in March 2007. Collectors are enjoying a glut of F/A-18E models to be released in the Dragon Warbirds range, and yet another one has arrived to whet appetites even further! This 1/72 scale item shows a highly detailed and accurately formed Super Hornet in the colorful markings of VFA-105. It looks simply stunning in its black, green and yellow markings, along with the unit’s emblem of a “skeletal gunslinger”. All the relevant markings such as the “AC” tail code have been accurately incorporated into this masterpiece of miniature aircraft design. Collectors will have to be very quick on the draw to get their hands on this excellent model F/A-18E!
