With all the really interesting planes now gone from the fleet, we are left with a bevy of F-18s of various types. Of course, if the F-18 is your main interest, then you are probably delighted at this outcomes!

Designed for the Hasegawa 1/48 F-18C, this sheet offers the CAG bird from VFA-192 aboard the USS Kitty Hawk (now the oldest carrier in the fleet and one of the few non-nukes), based in Yokosuka, Japan. In the standard TPS scheme, this one has a Dark Blue fin that contains a very well done dragon motif. This is offered on the sheet as a decal and all you have to do is apply it. The little CAG color arrows for the back side are provided separately aside from the blue and yellow. I'm not sure how well the orange will hold up against the dark blue background, but one will just have to see.

A full set of stencils and insignia and the Lerex walkways are provided with this most striking sheet.
