Moving on to MAW's third 1/32 sheet, this one is for the two seat F-18D, Academy again being the kit of choice for this one. It is also recommended that an update set be purchased to bring the model into specs. Once again we have the commanding officer's plane with the tails painted black on both sides. The green markings add quite a bit of interest to the aircraft. Markings are also provided for the seats, something I've not seen from other decals.

A full color placement and painting guide is included along with MAW's usual fine load-out diagram. The decals are printed by Microscale and provide some of the red and green markings as separate bits to prevent problems with registration.   The rest of the data markings can be gleaned from the kit.

Overall a fine sheet and my thanks to MAW Decals for the review sample. You can get yours direct from the link above. Free shipping in US. International orders, see their web site for rates.
