TwoBobs has continued their coverage of the Super Hornet with these three examples from VFA-2 and VFA-154. 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:

  • F/A-18F, BuNo 165916, VFA-2, NE/100, USS Abraham Lincoln, Mar 2005
  • F/A-18F, BuNo 165925, VFA-2, NE/111, USS Abraham Lincoln, Aug 2005
  • F/A-18F, BuNo 165910, VFA-154, NG/100, USS Carl Vinson, Jun 2005

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

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

These markings are designed for the Hasegawa kit and should work fine with the Italeri Super Hornet as well. Definitely recommended.
