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

Blue tailed CAG from VFA-131 F-A-18C CAG 165217 from September 2004

Recommended Kits:  1/32nd Scale

  • Academy F/A-18C Hornet
  • Black Box Cockpit
  • Cutting Edge Cockpit
  • Eduard Detail Sets
  • Eduard Masks
  • F4dable Models Resin/Photo-etch Update Set

This is an updated CAG version from the previous red tailed one. Not only are the tails blue, but the tail markings are larger.

 

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, which is understandable for 32nd scale.

The instruction sheet has painting and marking guidelines, a nice static photo of the jet and a history of VFA-131.

Special thanks are given to Dan Teker.

This sheet will make a really nice and attractive large F/A-18C model.

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!! 

Special thanks to Two Bobs for the review sample.
