KINETIC 48131 Royal Australian Air Force F/A-18A WORIMI HORNET 1/48 SCALE
DESCRIPTION:
Now Kinetic has released an F/A-18A in striking RAAF Worimi Hornet markings.
The Worimi people are Aboriginal Australians from the eastern Port Stephens and Great Lakes regions of coastal New South Wales, Australia. Before contact with settlers, their people extended from Port Stephens in the south to Forster/Tuncurry in the north and as far west as Gloucester.
The Worimi Hornet, with its soaring eagle insignia and traditional dot painting style, is public and national recognition of Indigenous military service, past, present and future. The scheme is also in honour of Len Waters, the first aboriginal RAAF fighter pilot. He flew 95 missions in the South West Pacific theatre.
The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet is a twin-engine supersonic, all-weather carrier-capable multirole combat jet, designed as both a fighter and attack aircraft (hence the F/A designation). Designed by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) and Northrop, the F/A-18 was derived from the latter's YF-17 in the 1970s for use by the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The Hornet is also used by the air forces of several other nations and, since 1986, by the U.S. Navy's Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels.
