Description
Set of two plastic model kits "Blue Angels – 80 Years": Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornet and Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat in 1:72 scale
Revell 05613 is a commemorative set marking the 80th anniversary of the famous US Blue Angels aerobatic team. It brings together two models in one box: the historic Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat, with which the team began, and the modern Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornet. It comes as a paint-inclusive Gift Set.
Both models are painted in the uniform, recognisable Blue Angels scheme — blue and gold-yellow. Pairing a 1940s piston-engined aircraft with a supersonic jet makes a striking composition that shows how naval aviation has developed over 80 years.

- Decal sheet in Blue Angels colours for both aircraft

- Manufacturer: Revell
- Assembled length: F/A-18E approx. 25 cm, F6F-5 approx. 14 cm

Gift set: includes the modelling paints, glue and brush needed to assemble and paint the model.
Building the model:
The set contains two models of different character — the simpler Hellcat and the slightly more involved Super Hornet — which makes it an interesting project for ambitious beginners too. The key to a striking result is even, smooth coverage in the distinctive Blue Angels blue and clean application of the yellow-gold accents. Apply decals over a gloss coat and finish the aircraft in gloss or satin, as is typical of display aircraft.
Useful tools (to complement what's in the set):
- Modelling side cutters for removing parts from the sprues
- Hobby knife or scalpel
- Files and sandpaper for cleaning up sprue gate marks
- Optionally, extra paints and a wash to deepen the effects
About the aircraft – Blue Angels: F/A-18E Super Hornet and F6F-5 Hellcat:
The Blue Angels were formed in 1946 as the US Navy's flight demonstration team, to maintain public interest in naval aviation. Their first aircraft was the combat-proven Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat — a piston-engined carrier fighter of the Second World War.
Today the team flies the jet-powered Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet, performing precise manoeuvres in tight formation. Pairing the two aircraft in one set shows how much naval aviation has changed over eight decades — from piston power to the era of supersonic jets.
