Print Scale 48-259 Decal Mc Donnel Douglas Hornet F/A-18 Part 1 Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-259 waterslide decals are intended for 1/48 scale models of the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18A Hornet in US Navy service. This “Part 1” sheet provides two aircraft identity options with squadron codes, modex numbers, national insignia, and a coordinated technical stencil set shown in the placement guide (scale is 1/48, also written as 1:48).

The F/A-18A Hornet is a carrier-capable multirole fighter used widely by US Navy squadrons. The markings in this set represent line aircraft presented in the standard two-tone gray scheme used during the modern operational period, with unit titles and tail codes specific to each squadron.

For modelers, this sheet is useful when you want one complete Hornet finish with matching codes and stencil layout rather than mixing markings from different sources. It is designed for use with any compatible 1/48 F/A-18A plastic model kit. Because modern jets combine large identifiers with many small safety and servicing stencils, this set is best suited to experienced builders. Model kit is not included.
