This sheet has a mixture of Super Hornets. For kits, you can do the preproduction versions boxed by Italeri, or you can use the new F-18E from Monogram and the new F-18F from Hasegawa. These decals have been scaled for these two kits. Both start out with the standard colors of FS 36320 upper and FS 36375 undersides.

The single seat F-18E is the CAG bird from VFA-27 aboard the USS Kittyhawk earlier this year. It has the upper surface and the fin in black with yellow trim in a set of markings similar to the VFA-115 F-18C of a few years ago.

The other is an F-18F from VFA-11 as shown at the Paris Air Show this year. This one has red on the fin tips and the area around the cockpit is FS 15042 Dark Blue.

Insignia and some data markings for both aircraft. To fully do both planes, you'll have to borrow some of the data bits from the kit decal sheet.
