What is a good OOB Hornet kit in 1/72?
Any Hasegawa Hornet is good with the exception of their 20 some years old model of the prototype that had the blue and gold trim.
I’ve also heard good things about a 1/72 Hornet model from Italeri that came out a few years back.
If you ever encounter the old AMT Hornet (not likely) STAY AWAY, its a piece of junk and out of scale by a fair margin.
Whaz up,
I have to agree w/ upnorth on the ol AMT kit (GAG[xx(])
As for the Hasegawa kit, I purchased a 1/72nd(cant believe I did that…!!!) two seat variant and it is very nicely done. I also built a CF-188 in 72nd by Hasegawa and the only thing that I found was that the fit around the intakes was kinda scary[:p]
I’m not too sure about the build of the Italeri kit but what I have heard is that it is really nice when finished.
I had taken a peek at one of the Italeri Hornets at the hobby shop and from I saw there is a lot of clean up to do.
Its all up to you my friend…!!!

Thank you for the info, gentlemen.
