Did You Know?
The F/A-18E Super Hornet is a larger and significantly redesigned development of the original F/A-18 Hornet family. Entering U.S. Navy service around the turn of the century, the Super Hornet was designed as a carrier-capable multirole fighter able to perform missions ranging from air-to-air combat to precision strike operations.
The aircraft became especially recognizable to movie audiences through Top Gun: Maverick, where the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet plays a central role in the film’s flying sequences.
For model builders, its combination of modern naval aviation history, distinctive shape, carrier operations, and movie connection makes the Super Hornet an especially interesting subject.
