RESKIT RSU72-0140 F-18 Super Hornet Type 1 exhaust nozzles for Academy 1/72

The RESKIT RSU72-0140 upgrade set is a high-quality resin set of exhaust nozzle tips designed for F-18 Super Hornet Type 1 scale models in the popular 1/72 scale. This product has been specifically designed as a replacement for the original, simplified parts of Academy kits, allowing modelers to achieve unprecedented detail and realism in representing this key part of the jet engine.

The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is a multirole fighter-bomber jet developed by the American company McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing). It entered service with the United States Navy at the turn of the 21st century. It has been in intensive use since the late 1990s—first during the modernization of carrier aviation, and later in numerous operations, including conflicts in the Middle East. Today, these aircraft form the backbone of the US Navy's carrier aviation and are also used by the Royal Australian Air Force.

The Type 1 exhaust nozzle tips, cast using pressure-cast resin technology, reproduce with the highest precision the structural details and material textures of the F-18E/F Super Hornet engines. This aftermarket accessory features sharp, clearly defined panel lines and reproduces even the smallest details, which are impossible to achieve with mass-produced plastic parts.
