Switching over to the F-18, this covers three planes from two units aboard this ship.

First is the CAG bird from VFA-136. Not very colorful as CAG birds go, but at least it has some color to add a bit of interest. It also includes a false canopy on the underside of the nose.

From VFA-131 are two planes. First is the CAG bird with LOTS of red in the markings and data. There is a 'regular' aircraft provided as well for those who want a standard airplane.

There is a smaller sheet included with more standard markings included. In fact, it appears that all three can be built from the decals provided on the sheet. I should also point out that this sheet has a number of small images of the actual planes in question. Though, in some respects, they are not the best photos to have for a reference, at least they are large enough to be of some use.

The suggested kit is, of course, the megabuck Hasegawa F-18C. Those on a budget may wish to use the Monogram version.
