This new decal sheet from Fightertown Decals includes markings for 2 different 1/48 jets including an F-14B with with VF-32 and an F-18F with VFA-32.  

Special thanks to Mike Pister, David F Brown, Harv Dan Teker, Daniel Delgadillo, VFA-32 Corrosion Control and Maintenance Shops and Andy Mullen and Fury for their help on this decal sheet.  Well done Guys!!!  

The 2 aircraft include two CAG jets in hi-viz markings. 

  • F-14B Gypsy 100 CAG Jet with VF-32 Last Tomcat Cruise BuNo169619 in Oct '04 - Apr '05.  Markings are the hi-viz black and red markings with yellow highlights.

  • F/A-18F Gypsy 200 CAG Jet with VFA-32 BuNo166661 in June '07 - March '08.  Markings are the hi-viz black and red markings with yellow highlights.

The instructions are clear and include multiply views of each aircraft.  There is also weapons loadout information included in the instruction sheets.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet with 7 insert decal sheets and include weapon pylon decals, loadout decals and landing gear and helmet decals.  Plus 2 sets of formation lights and a set of data markings.  The quality of the decals is first rate. 

This decal sheet features the old and the new USN jets as the Tomcat slipped into the history books and was replaced by the Super Hornet.
