This next new 1/72 sheet is for an F-18F Super Hornet from VFA-103. This sheet covers two aircraft, the CAG bird and the Commanding Officer's plane. Both are in the standard Tactical Paint Scheme and I have to assume that both have black fins and a black surround to the canopy area.

You see, the instruction sheet only shows the CAG bird, though the modex and serial for the other aircraft are on the sheet. The sheet also has a full data suite, but no placement guide so you'll have to rely on the kit's instruction sheet for those. Another thing included are decal instrument panels and side consoles, things that are most welcome in this scale. Also included are seat harnesses and a nice VFA-103 unit badge for your display. All the various vents and walkways are also provided, making for a most complete sheet.

No kit is specified, but really, the only option is the new Hasegawa kit for the Italeri one isn't as up-to-date.

Overall, a very fine sheet that is most welcome. I particularly like the resealable bag and the inclusion of a large sheet of waxed paper to keep the decals from sticking.  If you can't find this locally, ask your hobby shop to order it for you.
