Superscale is this nice CAG bird from VAQ-136 "Iron Claw", based on the USS
Kitty Hawk, (the oldest carrier in the fleet and, I believe the only non nuclear
powered one) home ported in Japan. It will be interesting to see how much longer
the US will have military forces in this country. Anyway, the recommended kit is
the Monogram EA-6B with the appropriate resin updates. There is an Airfix kit of
this aircraft in 1/48 but it is not recommended and has been out of production
for a very long time.
In all, a very nice sheet that provides all the markings you'll need. I should mention that the 'blank' area on the upper portion of the sheet is actually very fine yellow trim lines for the tail markings.
