Starting what may well be the last batch of new Superscale sheets, is this one for two F-18 Hornets. The recommended kits for these are the Hasegawa versions, but for the A, I don't know why you couldn't use the newer Hobby Boss kit. Both A models will need to have an aftermarket update to the F-18A+ variant. Both planes are also painted in the standard tps for the Hornet with FS 36320 uppers and FS 36375 undersides.

The F-18D is from VMFA-533 and is the commanding officer's plane. This means that the drop tanks and fins are painted with insignia blue. I'd paint the rudder white to prevent any problems with bleedthrough for the rudder decal.

The other is from VFC-12 and is the CAG bird. Though the Fighting Omars are usually painted in a disruptive camo scheme, this one is not, though it does have the fin and forward fuselage black sections to mimic a MiG-29.

The sheet contains common markings for both and insignia for one.
