TwoBobs has has returned with the an interesting color scheme for a US Marine Corps' F/A-18D Hornet. This aircraft is the squadron commander's mount from VMFA(AW)-332 Moonlighters. While the aircraft wears standard tactical camouflage and markings, the crescent moon, nose band and national markings are all colorful (high-visibility) markings. There is even additional markings on the aircraft representing pieces of the squadron's history including the squadron's legacy 'MR' tailcode worn on the inboard surfaces of the vertical stabs.

Even more interesting is that this same decal set is provided in 1/48 AND 1/32 scale. The instructions clearly call out those decals which require multiple layers to recreate the artwork.

The aircraft covered in this set is:

  • F/A-18D, 164967, VMFA(AW)-232, EA/00, USMC, Feb 2007

Whether you're building your night attack Hornet in 1/48 or 1/32 scale, this set has you covered with some interesting markings.
