This latest sheet from MAW has markings for a pair of F-18D Hornets. Both are in the current tactical paint scheme of FS 36320 over FS 36375. It is designed for the Academy kit and there are the usual batch of aftermarket bits available for upgrades.
The first option is from VMFA-332 and is the commander's plane. This is a block 38 aircraft with SJU-17 seats, GPS upgrade and large style UHF antenna, screen type vents and the later central pylon
The other is from VMFA-121 that has all the same upgrades as the previous one plus 5 blade IFF antennas and Dual chaff/flare buckets.
The nearly two full sheets have all the data markings and insignia needed and also include markings for the bang seat, something other sheets don't have. You'll also notice that many of the multi-colored markings are in sections to help prevent registration problems.
Overall a fine sheet and my thanks to MAW Decals for the review sample. You can get yours direct from the link above. Free shipping in US. International orders e-mail them at mawdecals@vfdecals.com for rates.
