First Look
MAW-Decals is a decal company that is well-placed well-placed to get quality information - near Camp Lejuene, NC. MAW (for Marine Air Wing) is affiliated with VF Decals (VF - Navy Fighter Squadron).
In this release, they've tackled four F/A-18C Hornets from three USMC squadrons, each offering some colorful and/or distinctive markings for the Hasegawa 1/72 F/A-18C kit.
The four aircraft covered in this set are:
- F/A-18C, 164265, VMFA-122, DC/01, Jan 2004
- F/A-18C, 164871, VMFA-241, AB/200, USS Theodore Roosevelt, Jul 2001
- F/A-18C, 163758, VMFA-212, WD/02, May 2003
- F/A-18C, 164278, VMFA-122, DC/13, Jan 2004
The decal printing is crisp and colorful and also includes one set of maintenance stencils. The instructions are printed in full color. This set also includes a nice external stores loadout chart for the F/A-18C/D.
