F/A-18E Super Hornet "Maverick"
The Boeing F/A-18E and F/A-18F Super Hornet are twin-engine, carrier-capable, multirole fighter aircraft variants based on the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet. The F/A-18E single-seat and F/A-18F tandem-seat variants are larger and more advanced derivatives of the F/A-18C and D Hornet.
The Super Hornet has an internal 20 mm M61 rotary cannon and can carry air-to-air missiles and air-to-surface weapons. Additional fuel can be carried in up to five external fuel tanks and the aircraft can be configured as an airborne tanker by adding an external air refueling system.
Designed and initially produced by McDonnell Douglas, the Super Hornet first flew in 1995. Low-rate production began in early 1997 with full-rate production starting in September 1997, after the merger of McDonnell Douglas and Boeing the previous month. The Super Hornet entered fleet service with the United States Navy in 1999, replacing the Grumman F-14 Tomcat, which was retired in 2006; the Super Hornet serves alongside the original Hornet. The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), which has operated the F/A-18A as its main fighter since 1984, ordered the F/A-18F in 2007 to replace its aging General Dynamics F-111C fleet. RAAF Super Hornets entered service in December 2010.

Highway to the danger zone♪~
Really nice
@Vetrix can you make a vr version?
@Souka can you do the F variant?
can you add some AGM-65s?
@Homemade1 ok thanks
@YesMyFriend uh yeah sure
@Homemade1 actually I might choose a different one of yours since it's not too late :P
Low part count, nice
@Red0Bull don't get cocky tho, I'm not even looking for a Super Hornet, I just said that a plane without ailerons is bruh
based on revell 1:48 f18 superhornet
Doesnt have that low-speed, high AoA hornet goodness and no ailerons but overall very nice deserves an upvote
@ollielebananiaCFSP oh definitely. I'm just being pedantic.
@Chrisk1993 some planes don't need them, but when making a replica of a plane that have some for me it's a must have.
@ollielebananiaCFSP what if a plane doesn't need ailerons though?
@Homemade1 ok
@Homemade1 thanks!!
@YesMyFriend sure
Can I use this in a SP movie please?
@MrShenanigans yes
Is this from top gun?
I saw the thumbnail and instantly thought, AirFix!
What’s with the wings having full auto missile brrrrrrrrt lol
@Homemade1 next time you could put structural wings in both sides, so when you fold the wings the flight model will change, this build would be even better with this and ailerons (a plane without ailerons is a sin)
@ollielebananiaCFSP since the wing was only on the main wing (the wing that not folded) i didnt put it
