| Quantity: | 1 |
For eight decades, the “Blue Angels” have stood for aviation precision and the pride of US naval aviation. In April 2026, the most famous aerobatic team in the world will celebrate its 80th anniversary. To properly honor this milestone, Revell is releasing a very special set that combines the beginning and the present. With this gift set you are not just building an aircraft, but the evolution of a legend: from the very first aircraft of the squadron, the F6F Hellcat, to the current high-tech machine, the F/A-18 Hornet. Thanks to the included accessories (paints, glue, brushes), you can immediately immerse yourself in this fascinating story.
Building this set is a journey through time. You might start with the Hellcat, which still exudes the angular ruggedness of the 1940s, and then move on to the flowing lines of the Hornet. Both models are painted in the uniform, world-famous Blue Angels color scheme. The result is an impressive display that shows how quickly aviation has developed in 80 years - from piston engine power to the jet era.
In 1946, Admiral Chester W. Nimitz founded the Blue Angels to maintain public interest in naval aviation. Their first aircraft was the combat-tested Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat. Today, 80 years later, pilots fly extremely powerful F/A-18 jets in formations with the wingtips often just a few centimeters apart. This set honors the tradition, discipline and skill that connects generations of pilots.
