Print Scale 72-045 Decal F-18 Hornet Part 2 Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-045 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft models representing the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18C Hornet, a multirole carrier-capable jet aircraft operated during the modern service period. This decal set provides researched markings suitable for plastic model kits depicting US Navy Hornet aircraft in late service configurations.

The F/A-18C Hornet became a standard carrier-based fighter and attack aircraft from the 1990s onward, serving with multiple US Navy squadrons. Aircraft of this variant featured low-visibility national insignia, squadron codes, and modex numbers consistent with modern naval aviation practices. These characteristics make the F/A-18C a representative subject for contemporary aircraft modeling.

This decal set is intended for modelers focusing on modern jet aircraft and accurate naval squadron markings. The decals are printed on thin carrier film to support precise application on the Hornet’s complex airframe surfaces, including fuselage panels, vertical stabilizers, and external stores. The set is compatible with any 1:72 scale F/A-18C Hornet plastic model kit and is recommended for advanced modelers due to the precision required for modern low-visibility markings.
