This new decal sheet from Afterburner Decals is our first foray into USMC subjects, and covers the F/A-18Ds from 2 squadrons at MCAS Miramar.  The first is the COs jet for VMFA(AW)-121 “Green Pawns” and also serves as the flagship for the 2nd Marine Division.  It was recently deployed along with the rest of VMFA(AW)-121 to Al Asad, Iraq and displays the mission and bomb markings for the entire squadron on the nose and numerous support unit emblems on the tails. It is a truly one-off scheme and displays the Marine “Esprit de Corps” in exemplary fashion. Also included are the markings for VMFAT-101 “Sharpshooters” COs jet, which also serves as the flagship for 3rd Marine Airwing. This is a terrific scheme lifted from the squadron’s history when it was applied to an A-4 during the 70s. There are no 2 sharper looking deltas in the Marines! Stencils for both aircraft are provided, as well as the standard loadout charts, modeling notes and some operational history.
