This new release
from Twobobs
celebrates the Centennial of Naval Aviation with heritage markings for both an
F/A-18's from VFA-106/VFA-122/VFA-204/VFC-12. Included in this decal sheet
is a full set of markings for both aircraft.
Each of the Twobobs
centennial products feature a 3" pressure sensitive sticker of the official
logo of the Centennial of Naval Aviation, which is perfect for a diorama base
for your model.
Twobobs has worked
directly with the US Navy as a licensed provider of decal markings to celebrate
this historic event and was the first decal manufacturer to receive a licensing
agreement with the US Navy!
The aircraft include
the following:
-
F/A-18C, BuNo
163745 with VFA-106 Gladiators from NAS Oceana, NC in December 2010.
The paint scheme is overall dark blue which reminds me of the aircraft
during WW2 in the Pacific with the special Centennial of Naval Aviation
patch painted on the side of the fuselage.

163733 with VFA-122 Flying Eagles from NAS Lemoore in February
