Well, here we are with yet another F-18 sheet. Guess I'm making up for lost time with these, eh? This particular sheet has two CAG birds on it. As F-18s go, these are not too bad. At least there is some color and some other interesting markings. 

This particular sheet offers full stencil markings and all other common markings for both aircraft. Judging by the plethora of small detail stencils, it should provide hours and hours and hours of decaling fun! There is a full stencil diagram on the back of the instruction page. 

First bird is an F-18A of VFA-132. This plane has its markings in a very non-standard script. It also has a large unit badge on one fin with the CAG-13 badge on the other fin. Inside the fins are the CAG code letters. To add more interest, there is a black antiglare panel on the nose. A very unusual feature for a fleet Hornet. There are also markings for the drop tanks.

The other Hornet is an F-18C form VFA-81. This one also has the unit marking on the outside of one fin and the CAG badge on the other. There is no CAG code letters for this one for some strange reason.  

Undoubtedly most modelers will use the first scheme from this sheet.
