Another nice set of scaled down markings is this sheet for the F-18A/C Hornet. The suggested kit for this is Hasegawa, but there are others that could be used if you so wish. Both of these planes are in the Tactical Paint Scheme of FS 36320 upper and 36375 undersides, two colors that are very close to each other in hue.

First is the F-18C from VFA-106, the Navy conversion squadron. This one has its markings in a blue with full color insignia.

The other is an F-18A+ from VMFA-115. The A+ means updated avionics and this can be identified by the larger blade antenna on the spine and the four small IFF antennas on the upper nose. This the same set as used on the F-18E/F and retrofitted to other Hornet versions. This aircraft also has the false canopy on the underside of the nose.

Since it is 1/72 scale, full insignia and lerex walkways are provided for both aircraft.
