Now that we have a fine Hasegawa kit for the two seat Super Bug in 1/48, it is normal for there to be some aftermarket sheets for these planes. Since the F is so far only done well by Hasegawa, that is the recommended kit for this sheet. Those with the Italeri pre-production kit could use them on that one if they so desired.
First up is a VFA-41 'line bird' in the FS 36320 over FS 36375 scheme that has been decided upon for these planes. The tip of the fin is in FS 36118.
The other is a VFA-2 CAG bird. This one has a lot more color and not only has full color insignia, but also has a yellow fin cap.
There are insignia and data decals for both. I'm glad to see that none of the sheets in this production batch are suffering from the misregistration of the full color insignia that plagued the last production run.
