The next super bug sheet covers the single seat F-18E. In this case, there are two (soon to be three) choices from Italeri, Revell (and later Hasegawa). The two on this sheet are in the standard Tactical Paint Scheme of two very close greys. The decal sheet has insignia for both and data markings for one. The rest of the markings will have to come from the kit decal sheet.

The first is the CAG bird from VFA-27 aboard the USS Kittyhawk. The upper surface of the fuselage and the fins are in black with the yellow bits, including the fuselage stripe, being offered on the sheet.

Next is a CAG bird from VFA-143 with the markings in a dark blue. Though the blue shows well on the scan, in person the blue is so dark as to be nearly indistinguishable to my eyes from black.
