Here are a nice pair of Super Hornets; one a single seat and one a twin seat version. Both are from the USS Nimitz as operated in 2005. For kits, you have Revell-Monogram and Italeri for the F-18E; Hasegawa and Italeri for the F-18F. The decals have been sized for the Revell and Hasegawa kits. Both are in the standard scheme for the F-18E/F.

First up is the VFA-41 F-18F. This is the CAG bird so has red fin tips and full color insignia and warning markings.

The VF-14 F-18E is also a CAG bird and so has black fins. Note that the very aft portion of the rudder is not painted. It also carries full color insignia and warning markings.

Enough common items and insignia are included to do one aircraft. The kit markings are quite usable in both kits so you can glean the common stuff from either of them to do the second option.
