--------------------

Twobobs is famous worldwide for their aggressor and adversary paint  schemes of unique paint schemes and this sheet continues that Twobobs tradition.   This sheet features markings for two complete adversary painted jets from the Rough Raiders of VFA-125. 

Based out of Lemoore NAS, CA, these aircraft are seldom seen on det. at Fallon NAS, NV.

You get full markings for both of these 2 seater F/A-18B's........in either the sand or blue camo scheme....heck build 'em both and really get some attention at the next contest.

The first jet is a F/A-18B Hornet BuNo 162850 with VFA-125 "Rough Raiders" in May of 2005.  This jet is in a 3 tone sand camo paint scheme.  Squadron tail art is of a nasty looking warrior with a knife clenched between his teeth and a patch over one eye.  All markings are in a sand colour.  

The second jet is a F/A-18B Hornet BuNo 162876 with VFA-125 "Rough Raiders" in November of 2005.  This jet is in a 3 tone blue/grey camo paint scheme.  Squadron tail art is of a nasty looking warrior with a knife clenched between his teeth and a patch over one eye.  All markings are in a blue colour.  

Formation lights are included for both jets and both jets sport "Navy" and "Marines" markings.

The instructions are clear and include 4 views of each aircraft.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet.  Paint codes are called out in FS #'s, Testors MM, Humbrol, Gunze Sangyo and Xtracrylics.

Special thanks goes out to VFA-125, Dave Brown, George Stange and Chad Thomas for their reference help on this sheet.

I'm a sucker for twin seaters and adversary and aggressor aircraft, so this sheet is a big hit with me and I'm sure it will sell fast. 

This sheet is available through http://www.twobobs.net/ and select US Hobby Shops.  Overseas customers can purchase these from Twobobs site or through Twobobs network of overseas distributors.  Remember, shipping is always FREE to US Customers at Twobobs!!
