Hasegawa Airplane & Jet Kits Editorial Review

The Hasegawa 1/72 Blu Angel F/A-18A Hornet is a great model with plenty of detail in its design and construction. However, the instructions leave something to be desired as they are not very detailed and can be somewhat confusing. Assembling the model requires patience and can be cumbersome, as the pieces need to be torn off of a plastic sheet and put together. The fit of the parts may require some reworking with putty and additional plastic. Despite these challenges, the end result is a decent looking model that is worth the effort.
