More downscaled Super Hornets for the 1/72 crowd and their Hasegawa kits.

This one includes the CAG bird from VFA-11 with its red fin tips and sea blue tail/upper decking. Interestingly, this sheet calls for FS 15044 for the dark blue whereas the 1/48 sheet calls for 15042. Really, either one will be just fine. You'll note that on these blue or black tailed aircraft. the very end of the rudders are left in the camouflage color.

The other is an F-18E from VFA-143. This is the Squadron Commander's plane. Though it is in the low visibility greys, it has full color insignia.

The sheet includes stencils for both planes, but you can also use the Hasegawa ones as the newer kit decals seem to be a big improvement over the old.
