This new decal sheet from Yellow Hammer Decals includes markings for three Superbugs in colourful markings.  The recommended kits for these decals are the 1/48 Hasegawa or Revell kit.

The first jet is an F/A-18F with VFA-103 flown by Cdr. Brian Koehr.  This Jolly Rogers jet is two tone grey with black tails and back areas around the canopy for anti-glare panels etc.  The tips of the tails are bright yellow (included as decals).  Plane # is 201.

The second jet is an F/A-18E with VFA-115 flown by Cdr. Jeff Penfield.  This two tone grey jet features very striking art work of a bald eagles head with the stars and stripes painted over the Eagles face....almost like a mask.  Plane # is 201.

The third jet is an F/A-18F with VFA-103 flown by Cdr. Bud Bishop, CAG .  This Jolly Rogers jet is two tone grey with black tails and back areas around the canopy for anti-glare panels etc.  The tips of the tails are bright yellow (included as decals).  Plane # is 200.

The decals were flawlessly printed and the clear carrier film is trimmed very close to the crisply printed colored areas.  The colours look good and will cover very well.  

All three decal options are sure to be popular due tot he fact 2 of the aircraft are Jolly Rogers jets and the other jet has very unique and attractive artwork. 

Special credit goes out to Dana "Smudge" Potts for his efforts to make this sheet possible.

A very nice decal sheet and it is a pleasure to see markings for the newest USN jet.

I would like to thank Cutting Edge Modelworks for providing me with this review sample.
