Here is another older Superscale sheet in 1/32 for the F-18 Hornet. Though not noted on the sheet, one is an F-18A and the other an F-18C. No kit is recommended, but most of you will use the very fine Academy version  with a bit of backdating for the A model. Both are in the the two color tactical paint scheme of FS 36320 over FS 36375. The walkway on the LEREX is in 36118.

First up is an F-18C from VFA-81. This one is the CAG bird so has a bit of color in the Sunliners' logo on the fin.

The other option is an F-18A from VFA-87. Like the previous aircraft, the unit marking on the fin is in color.

Also typical of Superscale sheets of the time, no insignia or data markings are included. These will have to come either from the kit or another sheet. These out of production sheets are not that difficult to find if you really want to locate one.
