Notes:

For appropriate 1/48 F-18E kit

Here is another excellent special scheme sheet from DXM Decals. This one is for the 2011 scheme for the CAG bird from VFA-195. They have done a series of 'Chippy Ho' schemes since they first started flying the F-18 and all of them are among some of the more colorful aircraft around.

This set includes all the markings you will need to duplicate this aircraft in 1/48 scale. I am not up to speed as to who all does an F-18E in this scale but I know that Revell-Monogram does one and would be surprised if Hasegawa does not. Full color info is provided with several paint lines. This is not a small set as the main sheet barely fits on the platen of my scanner. The sheet itself is superbly printed by Cartograf so will work with all available setting solutions.
