F/A-18D Hornet

This time, I'm bringing the F-18, a recent hot topic. Similar to previous works, 17 articulated parts are designed within its small fuselage. Clearance is reserved at the joints. It is recommended to sand and then assemble. See the figure below for assembly instructions:

The F/A-18D is the two-seat, all-weather fighter/attack variant of the US military's F/A-18C 'Hornet', developed by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing), with its first flight in 1988 and entering service in 1989. Its primary user is the United States Marine Corps (USMC), where it serves as a frontline day/night all-weather strike platform and Forward Air Controller (Airborne) (FAC(A)); while the US Navy primarily uses the D-model for training and testing. It has an overall length of approximately 17.07 m, a wingspan of 11.43 m, and is powered by two General Electric F404-GE-402 afterburning turbofans (each with an afterburning thrust of approximately 17,750 lbf). It has a maximum takeoff weight of approximately 25.4 t, 9 external hardpoints, a maximum external payload of approximately 6.2 t, and retains an M61A1 20mm six-barrel Gatling gun in the nose. It performs precision ground strike (laser/GPS-guided bombs, Maverick missiles, Harpoon missiles, etc.), close air support, and armed reconnaissance. The rear seat is typically occupied by a Weapons Systems/Sensor Officer (WSO), who operates the AN/AAS-38 FLIR targeting pod and AN/AAR-50 thermal imaging navigation pod. The cockpit is fully compatible with night vision goggles and color moving map displays, allowing for low-altitude operations in adverse weather and at night.
