1/48 F/A-18F Super Hornet VFC-12

The F/A-18F Super Hornet is a two-seat variant of the U.S. Navy's multirole deck plane, designed for fighter, attack and reconnaissance missions. Compared to the original Hornet, it offers a larger airframe, more powerful engines, longer range, and higher weapons payload. Super Hornet aircraft have formed the backbone of the US Navy's airborne aviation for many years and have participated in numerous combat and training operations around the world.

The VFC-12 "Fighting Omars" squadron specializes in simulating enemy aircraft during pilot training, and therefore its machines are often fitted with unusual and distinctive camouflage inspired by potential adversaries.
