Hasegawa 1/72 A-18B F Hornet Top Gun Model Kit

The F/A-18B Hornet in Top Gun markings represents the two-seat legacy Hornet used by the Naval Aviation Warfighting Development Center (NAWDC) for adversary training. The F/A-18B provided instructors with a rear cockpit for evaluating student pilots during air combat maneuvering exercises. Top Gun adversary aircraft wear distinctive camouflage patterns designed to replicate threat aircraft appearances, providing visual training cues during dogfight scenarios. The legacy Hornet's excellent handling characteristics made it an ideal adversary platform. Hasegawa captures the compact twin-engine fighter in its Top Gun adversary livery.
