Here are two more CAG F-18C Hornets. Once again, 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-83 aboard the USS Dwight D Eisenhower. The fin is insignia blue on both sides and the same color is used for the tips of the drop tanks. This is a later F-18C with a number of upgrades

The other is the CAG bird of sorts from VX-30, which is based at Pt. Mugu last I heard. This was the old Naval Weapons Test Squadron. Black fin with yellow tip that will need painted.

Both planes are in the tactical paint scheme and like the last sheet, there are no wing insignia so you can do both planes with what is on the sheet. A number of the markings are printed in two parts to prevent registration problems.

August 2007
