Precision Steel Model Kit

The Metal Earth Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet kit contains 146 steel parts that fold and lock together without glue or paint. It is an officially licensed replica of the U.S. Navy carrier aircraft, aimed at adult collectors and hobbyists who enjoy detailed assembly projects. Tweezers or similar tools are recommended for handling the small components.

Shelf Display Versus Play

Builders who want a finished desktop model with true-to-scale panel lines and fixed landing gear will appreciate the moderate difficulty level and the absence of moving openings. The kit is less suited for anyone seeking a toy with functional features such as opening canopies, retractable gear or motorised parts, because the finished piece is a static display object.

Part Count Determines Commitment

With 146 individual pieces the project typically spans several focused sessions rather than a single evening. The assembled footprint reaches approximately 5.91 inches long by 4.72 inches wide by 1.69 inches high, so shelf space should be confirmed before starting. Patience and fine-motor dexterity are the practical prerequisites for a clean result.

Questions about this item

What tools do I need to assemble the 146 steel parts of this model?

No glue or paint is required, but tweezers or similar tools are recommended for bending and connecting the pieces.

Will the finished 5.91 inch long Super Hornet fit on the same shelf as my older 1:72 scale aircraft models?

The assembled model measures approximately 5.91 inches long, 4.72 inches wide and 1.69 inches high, so you can compare those dimensions with your existing shelf space.

How can I confirm the landing gear is correctly installed once the kit is complete?

The model includes landing gear as part of the detailed exterior; after assembly check that the gear extends downward and supports the airframe at the specified 1.69 inch height.
