Product #32-011   (ARC Sheet)

Review by Steve Bamford  --- Introduction by Bob Sanchez

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

This decal sheet is being done in conjunction with ARC to help defray some of ARC's server fees.  Not cheap running a website with so many visitors!  Last year Twobobs produced an F-14 sheet in both 48th and 72nd of the Thief of Baghdad to help defray costs and this year we're doing the same thing with a sheet that's just in time for the Academy F/A-18 Hornet in 1/32nd scale.  Bob Sanchez
Well.....most of us were either thinking about buying the big 1/32 Academy F-18.....or we've bought at least one....unless you're Dave Roof....then you've probably got a closet full of the 1/32 F-18's.  

This sheet features two aircraft from VFA-94 during Operation Iraqi Freedom.  Both jets have mission markings from this conflict.

The first aircraft is # 164048 and is the CAG bird from this squadron and features 20 mission markings.  The paint scheme on this one is low viz Grey with bright red highlights.  These red highlights include the tops of the vertical stabilizers and other marking all over the plane. The F-18 is famous for it's thirst of fuel and underwing fuel tanks are very common for the F-18.  

This first F-18 on this sheet has red artwork on the vertical stabs as well as the same artwork on the underwing tanks.  There is also a black star with 2 playing dice inside the star on both sides of the fuselage.  Jet intake warnings and plane numbers by the nose are done in red.

The second aircraft is # 164027 and this is the CO bird from this squadron and also features 20 mission markings.

 

This plane is a lo-viz grey paint scheme with grey and black markings.  The general paint scheme of the second plane is very much like the first plane on this sheet.  

The decals come on two decal sheets and are beautifully printed on my sample.  Some decals are broken into 2 layers of decals to ensure the highest possible quality.  

There are enough decals provided to do 2 complete jets....with the exception of the formation light decals.

All proceeds from the sale of this sheet go directly to ARC and I for one would like to express my deep thanks for the financial support this decal sheet gives for ARC.  Please drop by the Twobobs website and check out some of their other fine decals......these guys deserve much support for the way they are supporting ARC.

This sheet is available through http://www.twobobs.net/   and select US Hobby Shops.  Overseas customers can purchase these from Twobobs site or through Twobobs network of overseas distributors.  Remember, shipping is always FREE to US Customers at Twobobs!!
