Continuing with the new Super Hornet releases, this sheet also has markings for a single seat and a two seat aircraft. Again, most will choose the Monogram kit for the single seat version and the Hasegawa kit for the two seat variant. Those kits are what are recommended and for which the decals have been scaled. Standard scheme is FS 36320 upper with FS 36375 undersides.

The VFA-11 F-18F is the CAG bird so has very dark blue (FS 15042) trim around the canopy and on the fin. The tip of the fin is in red on this one.

For the F-18E, we have markings for the 'Pukin' Dogs' of VFA-143, This is the squadron CO's plane and only has the full color insignia to add any 'non-grey' aspects to it.

There are insignia and partial data for both. The rest of the data for the second scheme you may choose will need to come from the kit's decals.
