Here's a review of a new release from Two Bobs

Red and blue tailed CAGs from VFA-131

  • F-A-18C CAG 165217 from August 2003
  • F-A-18C CAG 165217 from September 2004

Recommended Kits:

1/48th Scale

  • Hasegawa F/A-18C
  • Revell F/A-18C
  • Hasegawa F/A-18C
  • Black Box Cockpit
  • Eduard Detail Sets
  • Cutting Edge Masks

This sheet includes 2 versions of the CAG jet from VFA-131. 

 

Enough markings and stencils provided for both jets, however, only one set of formation light decals are included, probably due to space constraints.

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. There are 2 decal sheets included - one large main sheet and a smaller one with stencils and other markings. You will need to paint the walkways, or source them from another decal set.

The instruction sheet has painting and marking guidelines, and nice reference photos.

Special thanks are given to Dan Teker and Mike Bates.

Special thanks to Two Bobs for the review sample.
