NOTES:

 

Here is another fine sheet for 1/144 fans from Starfighter Decals. This set is for the very nice Dragon 1/144 kits and provides markings for a pair of colorful planes. First up is the CAG bird from VFA-41 with the nicely colored unit markings on the fin. The red part will need to be painted.

The other option is one that has been done in the other scales, but not in 1/144. It is the squadron commander's plane from VFA-11. This one has a dark blue surround to the cockpit section that the builder will need to paint. You'll notice the additional section that was added as the red fin stripes are on both sides.

The markings are superbly done on an ALPS printer (one of the reasons the gold is so good) and so care is needed when handling them as they are super thin. Starfighter Decals has a full markings guide for the aircraft and includes the upper wing walk section as well.
