Hobby Master HA3568 1:72 EF-18A Hornet Spanish AF ALA 15 Gatos Exercise Sky


New

Description

Hobby Master HA3568 depicts the McDonnell Douglas EF-18A Hornet of the Spanish Air Force ALA 15 “Gatos”, marked #12-09 at Gando AB, Canary Islands for Exercise Sky 2020. The reference ties this jet to the October 2020 exercise window and ALA 12/15 operational training focus, giving the model a clear, event-based identity rather than a standard day-to-day scheme.

A great modern European Hornet for display, ideal if you like exercise-marked aircraft and want something different from USN/USMC subjects in 1:72.
