TwoBobs has captured more very colorful aircraft. In this case, a pair of CAG aircraft from VFA-22 and VFA-143.

The aircraft in question are:

  • F/A-18E, BuNo 166437, VFA-22, NK/100, USS Ronald Reagan, Jul 2005
  • F/A-18E, BuNo 166608, VFA-43, AG/100, USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, Aug 2005

Both aircraft are carrying nice artwork though the Pukin' Dogs VFA-143 aircraft is wearing all of its artwork in black (a far cry from their Tomcat days!).

At any rate, this decal set captures the colorful markings of these aircraft on two sheets. The instructions are printed double-sided in color, providing excellent color scheme as well as decal placement information.

F/A-18E F/A-18E

In addition to the colorful markings, this set provides the more visible maintenance and warning stencils as well as national markings. Definitely recommended.

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