Cons  
Skill Level Novice
MSRP (USD) $15.00

You can see from the variety of releases in their Pro Series, the new CAM has been keeping a steady pace in producing quality markings for scale modelers. This one is definitely another nice release!

This release covers one of the most unique camouflaged F/A-18C Hornets seen in line service. This aircraft was assigned to the VFA-86 Sidewinders. This scheme is on par with the equally interesting tan/brown Fulcrum scheme applied to an aggressor F/A-18A that would later be transfered to the Spanish Air Force. The aircraft in question is:

  • F/A-18C, BuNo 163459, VFA-86, AB/415, USS Enterprise, 2004

I'm not sure what the story is behind this camouflage scheme and it doesn't appear to have endured more than one cruise. You can see a few shots of this aircraft in action in our F/A-18 Hornet section.

As you can see in the decal layout, this set provides sufficient markings for one complete aircraft.

Time to dust off that Academy 1/32 F/A-18C kit and create an eye-catching model.

This set is definitely recommended!
