The Super Hornet has been the backbone of USN carrier aviation for decades and has served in multiple conflicts since being introduced in 1999. The Foxtrot leveled up the game in big ways by adding a WSO and additional capabilities. Further cementing the airframe's versatility and reliability was the introduction of the EA-18G Growler - a modified Super Hornet dedicated to electronic attack.
F/A-18F BuNo 165879 joins team JE in 5 variants: Green, Grey, Multi-Grey (grey/dark grey bi-color), Multi-Material (green aluminum on one side, grey rubberized coating on the other) and Structured (thick and interesting).
All JETs have been cut from a de-milled Lex Vent that was sold as part of a scrap metal contract. This vent retained its original ID tag.
The Custom Shop was extremely popular for our CL-13 release and we are bringing it back for the Super Hornet. For a limited time, you can choose your tag art. Examples of each design can be found in the product photos. They are: 8380 Sketch, 8380 Color Printed, and Planform. All Multi-material and Structured tags will feature printed 8380 Sketch or Planform art. All Grey, Multi-Grey, and Green tags will feature laser etched 8380 Sketch or Planform art.
ALL MULTI-MATERIAL JETs will come with a Planform etch on the back (green aluminum side) of the tag in addition to the artwork chosen for the front.
The Rhino comes on a card by 8380 Laboratories and included with all JETs ordered on 5/8 only is a new thing we’re offering: Holographic stickers.
These stickers are made to the same dimensions as a trading card and are reminiscent of vending machine stickers from the 80s and 90s. Like all of our stuff, they're made right here.
Lastly, a very small batch of TRAPs (keychains) have been made from the remaining material after cutting our JETs. A few are available as a standalone purchase, and several can be purchased as "Add-a-TRAP." Add-a-TRAPs are discounted and require the purchase of a JET.
ALL TRAPS WILL SHIP WITH PLANFORM LASER ETCHED OR PRINTED ART.
Only 215 Super Hornet JETs have been made.
