The second new Hornet sheet covers two USMC aircraft. Both are in the simplified scheme of FS36320 over FS36375. These decals were designed to fit the Hasegawa kit but I don't see any reason why they wouldn't fit another 1/48 Hornet, though you may have to do some fiddling on a few of them.

The VMFA-112 plane is very nicely done with a large marking on the fin. The other is from VMFA-242 and these guys and gals have painted the fins black so as to add their distinctive markings on them. Very cool unit name and modex markings as well. I'm sure that there will be several D model F-18s on the display tables this year with this scheme. I also like the dog-tooth yellow used inside the insignia and intake warnings.

A full set of markings are provided for both planes so have at it, Hornet fans.
