TwoBobs has continued their coverage of the Super Hornet with these two examples from VFA-2. Those of us who've been around a while remember when VF-2, together with VF-1, brought the F-14 Tomcat into the fleet. Now VF-2 has become VFA-2 as they transitioned into the F/A-18F.

The aircraft in question are SuperBugs 165916 (Modex 100) and 165925 (Modex 111). In the standard TwoBobs tradition, this set provides the colorful CAG and a 'working' aircraft. The markings are provided on two sheets, one carrying the distinctive markings for both aircraft as well as the national markings. The second sheet contains the more visible maintenance stencils.

The instructions are printed double-sided in color, providing excellent color scheme as well as decal placement information.

These markings are just in time for the Hasegawa F/A-18F, and they should work fine with the Italeri and the (future) Revell-Monogram Super Hornets as well. Definitely recommended.

My sincere thanks to TwoBobs Aviation Graphics for this review sample!
