F/A-18 Plastic plane model +/b/CF-188 1/48

F/A-18 is a twin-engine supersonic, all-weather carrier-capable multirole fighter jet, designed to dogfight and attack ground targets. \n\nCanada was the first export customer for the Hornet, replacing the CF-104 Starfighter, the CF-101 Voodoo and the CF-116 Freedom Fighter. The Canadian Forces Air Command ordered 98 A models (CF-188A/CF-18A) and 40 B models (CF- 188B/CF-18B). The original CF-18 as delivered is largely identical to the F/A-18A and B models. \nIn 1991, Canada committed 26 CF-18s to the Gulf War, based in Qatar. These aircraft primarily prod Combat Air Patrol duties, and later to perform air strikes on Iraqi ground targets. In 1999, 18 CF-18s were deployed to Aviano AB, Italy, where they participated in both the air-to-ground and air-to-air roles in the former Yugoslavia. \nThe Royal Australian Air Force purchased 57 F/A-18A fighters and 18 F/A-18B two-seat trainers to replace its Mirage IIIOs. Original differences between the Australian and US Navy\'s standard F/A-18 were the removed nose wheel tie bar for catapult, addition of a high frequency radio, an Australian fatigue data analysis system, an improved o and voice recorder, and the use of ILS/VOR. \nF/A-18 deliveries to the RAAF began in 1984, Australia deployed 4 aircraft to Diego Garcia, in an air defense role, during coalition operations against the Taliban in Afghanistan. In 2003, 75 Squadron deployed 14 F/A-18s to Qatar as part of Operation Falconer. \nThe Spanish Air Force ordered 60 EF-18A model and 12 EF-18B model Hornets. Delivery of the Spanish version started in 1985. These fighters were upgraded to F-18A+/B+ standard, close to F/A-18C/D. \nSpanish Air Force EF-18 Hornets have flown Ground Attack, SEAD, combat air patrol (CAP) combat missions in Bosnia and Kosovo, under NATO command, in Aviano detachment. \nModel Features: \n1.
