Remarks: This is one of many of the 1/32 decal sheets from superscale for the F/A-18A Hornet. But the problem is, there is no 1/32 F/A-18A Hornet kit available, you either have to backdate the excellent Academy F/A-18C to a A version, or you have to update the older Hasegawa kit to a real A, since that the Hasegawa kit (and the Revell kit too) are prototypes. In Detail and Scale 6 F-18 Hornet Part 1, is explained how to convert the Prototype kits to a production version.
This sheet contains only one option for a F/A-18A Hornet from VFA-132 Privateers of CVW-13, during the 1989 medeterian Cruise on the USS Coral Sea. VFA-132 had one of the more unusual colour schemes because of all the numbers and lettering in script style.
