For those of you who have not yet decided on a scheme for your Academy 1/32 F-18C Hornet, then this latest release from Superscale might not be a bad one to try. It is from VX-9 and is their boss bird. It is in the two grey scheme of FS 36320 over 36375. You'll have to paint the fins black with a yellow leading edge and fin tip prior to applying the decals. This sheet does provide the walkways on the lerex as well as a set of stencils and the slime lights. As with many of these test and training units, there are both Navy and Marine markings on the same aircraft with Navy on the left.  Something that adds a bit of additional interest!

Late note: it appears that the fin should be painted in a very dark blue vice black as noted on the sheet instructions. I've run across this situation before with what seems to be black fins. Ed.
