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

 

This new decal sheet from Fightertown Decals includes markings for 3 different 1/144 F-18F's with VFA-103 Jolly Rogers.  

There is a long list of people that helped on this sheet including LT Charles Escher, LTJG Daniel Poirier, LT Dom Telenko, CDR Chris Murdoch, CDR Tom O'Dowd, LCDR Brian Garrison, LT Tom Nagelin, LT Wrenn Landers, Brian "Oompa" Marbrey, Mike "Strokes" Pister, Andy Mullen and Thomas "Fury".  Well done Guys!!!  

The 3 aircraft include one CAG jet in hi-viz markings and 2 line jets in lo-viz markings. 

  • F/A-18F VFA-103 Jolly Rogers CAG jet Victory 200 BuNo166620 in May 2007.  Markings are the hi-viz black markings with yellow highlights.

  • F/A-18F VFA-103 Jolly Rogers Line jet Victory 201 BuNo166621 in May 2007.  Markings are the lo-viz dark gray markings. 

  • F/A-18F VFA-103 Jolly Rogers Line jet Victory 202 BuNo166622 in May 2007.  Markings are the lo-viz dark gray markings.

The 1 page of instructions are clear and include multiple views of each aircraft.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet.  Considering these are 1/144 scale the printing is very well done.  

It's good to see a decal manufacturer willing to offer decals to the 1/144 scale crowd.  Well done Brian!!!
