About the Aircraft:
The Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet is an American twin-engined, carrier-capable multirole fighter aircraft developed for the United States Navy. Introduced into operational service in 2001, the two-seat F/A-18F is capable of undertaking air superiority, fleet defence, precision strike and reconnaissance missions. The Super Hornet has also served with the Royal Australian Air Force, which introduced the F/A-18F in 2010.
Hasegawa's 2011 limited-edition release combines the Super Hornet with Ritsuko Akizuki, a character from Japan's popular THE iDOLM@STER franchise. Its distinctive colour scheme, exclusive character decals and special illustrated packaging make it an unusual crossover collectible appealing to both aviation modellers and anime enthusiasts.
