Here's a review of a new 1/48 sheet from Twobobs.  

Two aircraft are represented in their new Super Hornet markings.  Enough marking options for two complete jets.

  • F/A-18F VFA-2 CAG Jet from March 2005
  • F/A-18F VFA-2 Line Jet from August 2005

Recommended Kits:

  • Hasegawa F/A-18F (Decals are sized for this kit)
  • Italeri F/A-18F
  • Revell F/A-18F


There is 2 decal sheets included, one main sheet and a smaller one with some stenciling and miscellaneous markings.

The decals are beautifully printed, and are clear and sharp. The white markings are nice and bright. Some of the markings are 2 piece decals, ensuring proper color and registration.

VFA-2 used to operate the F-14D, and the CAG markings included are similar to their former F-14D CAG.

The folks at VFA-2 helped out, as well as Brian Marbrey and John Bibay.
