This next sheet has two fancy Hornets on it. Sized for the F-18C kit by Hasegawa, I'm sure a bit of trimming will get these to fit on the Monogram kit as well. Both are wearing the standard Tactical Paint Scheme (TPS) of Fs 36320 over 36375, two shades that are quite close to each other.

First up is the MAG II commander's plane with red, white and blue markings. A most colorful aircraft.

The VFA-105 plane is the CAG bird and has a black tail with green unit markings as on the USS Harry Truman in 2005.

There are enough insignia and LEREX walkways to do one of the two options. The rest can come from an alternate source. Thankfully, Superscale has been doing the red stripes in the insignia separately so there will be no registration problems. As with all modern Superscale sheets, the printing and colors are superb. I only wish they hadn't stopped doing 1/72. Oh well.
