To go along with the very nice Dragon Super Bugs, Starfighter Decals  has produced a sheet for the single seat version. This sheet has markings for two planes from VFA-14 'Tophatters'. There is the CAG bird with the now-requisite black fin and the commanding officer's plane. The CAG bird has the 85th Anniversary markings from 2004 in gold on the fin stripes. This was while the CAG was assigned to the Ronald Reagan. The CO's plane is in the 2005 markings for the USS Nimitz, which I guess is now nearly the oldest carrier in the fleet.

The markings are superbly done on an ALPS printer (one of the reasons the gold is so good) and so care is needed when handling them as they are super thin. Starfighter Decals has a full markings guide for the aircraft and includes the upper wing walk section as well.
