MAW has produced an excellent sheet of stencils for the 1/48 F-18A-D Hornet. There is no kit specified for this sheet, but I'm going to assume that most will use it on the Hasegawa offering, though I see no reason why most if not all can't be used on the Monogram or Hobby Boss kit.

Printed by Cartograf in Italy, the decals are sharply and crisply done, providing a full set for one aircraft and for many of the weapons that it will carry. Also included on the sheet are stencils for Sidewinders, Mavericks, and Laser-guided bombs. In addition to that, there are stencils for the targeting pod that is carried by many Hornets, making for a most complete and useful sheet. A small addendum sheet with the slime lights is part of the set.

The placement guide is quite complete and printed in full color. There are also some smaller photographs of where landing gear decals and those that fit in wheel wells need to be placed. As I said, a most complete set and one that you really should consider for your next Hornet project.

Overall a fine sheet and my thanks to MAW Decals for the review sample. You can get yours direct from the link above.
