For the second new 1/72 sheet this month, here are a couple of A model Hornets taken from the larger 1/48 sheets. Both are in the simplified scheme of FS 36320 over FS 36375. The sheet provides full data markings for both aircraft. If you like putting on lots of teeny stencil decals, you will like this one!

First up is the Squadron Commander's plane with the spine and tails in a very dark blue that almost looks black. FS 15042 is a close match. On this one, the tail hook has red instead of black stripes.

The other is the CAG bird from VFA-204 'River Rattlers' out of Louisiana. The leading edge and tip blue has to be painted on to match the blue in the rest of the decal.

In all a very nice sheet and I'm glad that SS is doing 1/72 sheets again. Buy them so he'll do more!
