Das Werk 16002 116 Panzer III Ausf. J 3 in 1 – Metro Hobbies

McDonnell-Douglas Northrop F A-18 Hornet is an on-board fighter and attack aircraft capable of operating in all weather conditions. The roots of the F A-18 go back to 1974 and the F-17 prototype, which was of interest to the US Navy command this year. The contract for the serial construction of the aircraft was concluded in 1976. In order to accelerate the work, the Northrop concern entered into cooperation with the McDonnell-Douglas concern. As a result, on November 18, 1978, the test flight of the prototype took place, and a year later, successful landings on the aircraft carrier. Since 1982, the aircraft has been delivered to linear units with General Electric F404-GE-402 engines as the propulsion unit. The plane is produced in several versions. The first were the F-18A (fighter) and F-18B (training). Foreign orders from Spain,
