Eduard SIN collection – a complete set of Brassin accessories for one model

SIN is an Eduard collection set that brings together several individual Brassin-line sets for the same model in a single package. It allows the level of detail of the aircraft to be raised comprehensively – from the cockpit and external parts to the ordnance – without having to buy each set separately.

Brassin accessories are produced by direct 3D printing or cast in resin and are designed as a replacement for the kit's plastic components. The printed parts have no mould-parting lines or sprue-gate marks; cyanoacrylate glue is recommended for fixing them.

About the aircraft – F/A-18C Hornet:

The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet is an American multirole carrier-based aircraft combining the functions of a fighter and a strike aircraft (hence the F/A designation). The single-seat F/A-18C version gained the ability to carry more modern guided weapons and improved avionics, allowing it to perform a wide range of tasks – from air combat to precision strikes.

The Hornet operated from US Navy carriers and Marine Corps bases, earning a reputation for reliability and versatility. It took part in operations over Iraq, the Balkans and the Middle East, becoming one of the most recognisable naval-aviation aircraft of the turn of the 21st century.

• Length: approx. 17.1 m
• Wingspan: approx. 11.4 m
• Powerplant: 2 × General Electric F404 turbofan engines
• Maximum speed: approx. Mach 1.8
