This is the third new sheet for the Academy 1/32 F-18C, though I guess you could use the old Revell or Hasegawa kits if you wanted to put in the extra work. Both are in the TPS colors of FS 36320 and 36375 (Dark and Light Ghost Grey). There are 1 2/3 sheets in this set and they include full insignia for both aircraft.

First is the CAG bird from VFA-37 aboard the USS Enterprise during Operation Desert Fox in 1999. Note that this and the other aircraft on the sheet have the swept back UHF antenna on the upper spine. Though the sheet claims there are decals for two fuel tanks for this plane, only one is on the sheet for this particular plane.

The other is yet another CAG bird, this time from VFA-94 aboard the USS Stennis in June 2001. VFA-94 was one of the last fleet squadrons to fly the A model F-18. Currently only USN/USMC Reserve units and the Blue Angels fly that variant.
