A variant of the F/A-18C/D Hornet, the F/A-18H Advanced Hornet sought to upgrade to bring legacy F/A-18C/D Hornet to some level of parity with the F/A-18E/F Hornet. While retaining the same basic airframe and the 20mm cannon, the avionics have been significantly upgraded, and the F404 engines originally employed replaced by newer F414 engines. This creates a sort of Hornet 1.5, where the Super Hornet is akin to a Hornet 2.0. Both the Super Hornet and the Advanced Hornet are in service with the Paternian Air Force.

    @Gmanndo1000 It's actually pretty simple.

    I find a good model, and modify it.

    Granted, my modifications are of high quality compared to most builds made like this.
