This new decal sheet from MAW Decals includes markings for two different 1/32 USMC F/A-18A.  

Special thanks goes to SSgt Mark Davenport and CW3 Sean Hogan.  Well done Guys!!!  

The 2 aircraft include one hi-viz VMFA "The Red Devils" bird as well as a line bird with VMFA-333 "The Shamrocks". 

• F/A-18A+ Hornet BuNo 162396 with VMFA-232 "The Red Devils" in March 2007.  Most markings are red on this Hornet including both tails.  The is a white diamond on the tail with a red devil on the white diamond.

• F/A-18A+ Hornet BuNo 163154 with VMFA-333 "The Shamrocks" in the late 1980's.  This is a lo-viz Hornet with gray shamrocks along the bottom of the tails.

The 3 pages of instructions are clear and include 4 color views of each aircraft.  The decals are beautifully printed on 2 decal sheets.....this is 1/32 after all.  You get all the tiny stencils for the weapons pylons as well as the Chaff/Flare bucket decals.  You also get two full sets of stencils.

The printing quality is first rate and the choice of markings had me grinning as these are both very popular Squadrons and sure to please.  MAW Decals has hit a home run with this decal sheet....time for you to build that big Hornet.

I would like to thank MAW Decals for providing me with this review sample.
