Afterburner Decals 1/48 "F/A-18A+ F/A-18C
OIF 2006-2007 GOLDEN WARRIORS"

Another new release from Afterburner Decals is AD48-018, F/A-18A+ and
F/A-18C from Operation Iraqi Freedom during 2006 and 2007 GOLDEN WARRIORS
of VFA-87. The sheet measures nearly 8 ½ by 11 inches, and is jammed
with enough decals to produce six different aircraft. Also included are
5 full pages of colored instruction sheet, along with a black and white
Stencil Guide for these aircraft.
The title for this sheet is a little misleading as the first 2 aircraft
are actually F/A-18C’s from Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. The
first is the F/A-18C which was the 2003 CAG aircraft, and the other is
the F/A-18C which was the XO aircraft in 2003.
From 2006 is the F/A-18C which was the CAG aircraft, and the F/A-18C
which was the XO aircraft.
In 2007 VFA-87 transitioned to the F/A-18A+. Markings are provided for
the CAG aircraft, as well as 2 line jet, 403 and 411.
 Also
included is a full page of Weapons and Stores used on these aircraft,
and includes many, many options. There is also a Painting Guide, which
is the current Navy Tactical Scheme of Dark Ghost Gray on the fuselage
top, and Light Ghost Gray on the bottom. These decals have been sized
to the 1/48 Hasegawa kits, but with a little trimming should fit other
kits as well. The decals themselves are in perfect register being printed
by Microscale.
This and other Afterburner Decals can be ordered from their website . This sheet is highly
recommended. My thanks to Scott Brown of Afterburner Decals for this review
sheet. |
