Here is an interesting set of decals to provide some color to your gray camouflaged Hornets. This set provides two three-color wraparound schemes worn by the F/A-18B Hornets of VFA-125, the 'Rough Raiders'. The unit provides fleet replacement training as well as adversary air combat training for the Pacific.

These two paint schemes represent the desert and blue/gray schemes and the well-illustrated four-view paint diagrams show not only proper decal placement, but also how to replicate these paint schemes. Here is a color profile of the desert scheme here with available paints.

The two subjects of this sheet are:

  • F/A-18B, 162850, VFA-125 Rought Raiders, NJ/325, NAS Leemore, CA, May 2005
  • F/A-18B, 162876, VFA-125 Rought Raiders, NJ/327, NAS Leemore, CA, Nov 2005
F/A-18B F/A-18B

This decal set has all of the markings needed to produce either or both aircraft, so dust off those Hasegawa B-model Hornets!

This set is highly recommended!
