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

Here's a review of a new 1/72 sheet from Twobobs.  

Two complete CAG scheme aircraft from VFA-22 Fighting Redcocks and VFA-143 Pukin' Dogs.  Enough markings for two complete jets!

This is a scale-downed version of the 48th sheet 48-102 with the same subjects.

  • F/A-18E 166437 VFA-22 Fighting Redcocks CAG Jet from July 2005
  • F/A-18E 166608 VFA-143 Pukin' Dogs CAG Jet from Aug 2005

Recommended Kits:

  • Hasegawa F/A-18E (Decals are sized for this kit)
  • Italeri F/A-18E
  • Revell F/A-18E

 

The decals are beautifully printed, and are clear and sharp. The white markings are nice and bright. Some of the markings are 2 piece decals, ensuring proper color and registration.

VFA-22 recently converted from the F/A-18C to the F/A-18E.

VFA-143 recently converted from the F-14B to the F/A-18E.

The folks at VFA-22 and VF-143 helped out, as well as John Gabor.

Thanks to Two Bobs for the review sample.
