This sheet is for a nice pair of CAG Hornets. The sheet is scaled for the Hasegawa kit and you could probably get it to fit the Monogram version, though you may have to fiddle with the fin markings.

First on the sheet is the 2007 CAG bird from VFA-192 with the USS Kitty Hawk in Japan. Fin tips will need to be painted yellow and the upper spine/fins is a blue that is close to Blue Angel Blue. Apparently the rest of the airframe is overall FS36375. A large flag is superimposed over the speedbrake.

The other is the 2004 CAG bird of VFA-131. It has the fins in insignia blue with the rest of the aircraft in the standard two-grey TPS.

There are enough insignia decals to do both aircraft as it appears these are without wing insignia. Many of the VFA-131 markings are in two parts to prevent problems with registration.
