1/48 scale product #48041

Review by Steve Bamford

--------------------

As the F-14 is slowly retired from service the F-18F will assume the role formerly held by the F-14.  Some squadrons have already transitioned to the F-18E's and F's.  This decal sheet features enough markings for three aircraft from this former F-14 squadron from Lemoore NAS.  CAG, CO and a standard dirty bird are included.  This decal sheet includes two complete sets of stencil data with three different optional markings combinations. 

The first plane is F/A-18F #165876 and is a CAG bird off the USS Nimitz with VFA-41 "Black Aces".  this plane is lo-viz gray with red tips on the vertical stabs.  There is also red accents on much of the larger black lettering on this plane.  There are also two large 

black, white and red Ace of Spades playing cards on the outside vertical stabs.

The second plane is almost identical to the first plane except for having different pilots names and numbers for the plane. 

The third plane is a muted lo-viz example of the first two planes.

 

With the continued introduction of the SuperBug, there will be more and more interest among modellers to build the newest of the USN's attack aircraft.

The instruction sheets include all the painting info you'll need, plus color numbers for 4 different brands of paint as well as the FS#'s.

The quality of this decal sheet is the usual excellent quality we expect from Two Bobs. 

I'd like to thank the Two Bobs for this review sample.
