This is a 1/72 McDonnell-Douglas F-18C/D Hornet Model from Italeri.

 The F-18C/D Hornet is one of the most versatile fighter/attack aircraft in the
world and can operate from land bases and aircraft carriers. The C version is
a single seater, while the F-18D carries a crew of two. The two seat version
has proven especially adaptable to the anti-radar wild weasel role previously
filled by the F-4G Phantom.
