PROLOGUE: 

A little over a year back, fellow modeller Khairul Effendy and myself were discussing about coming up with markings for our models of the Royal Malaysian Air Force F/A-18D Hornet. 

Lots of ideas were mulled over. Anyway, to cut a long story short, what was originally a modelling project snowballed into this decal sheet.

1/48 decals 1/72 decals Correction Decals

Both decal sheets feature the unique Gunship Grey painted F/A-18D Hornets of the Tentera Udara Diraja Malaysia (Malay language for the Royal Malaysian Air Force).  

Some technical problems cropped up shortly after the initial release, necessitating the printing of a correction sheet. The correction sheet for each scale is also included. The corrections largely center around the fact that the original font used for the digit ‘5’ was incorrect, and the nose modex numbers were too large.

Some points of note about this decal sheet: 

·         Includes both versions of Malaysian roundel seen on the aircraft

·         Includes tail numbers and nose modex numbers for all eight aircraft in service

·         Includes a set of generic F/A-18 stencil data in black

·         Detailed instructions with some tips on modelling the F/A-18D in Malaysian service

·         Printed by Cartograf of Italy

·         Limited to only 500 sheets each 

The 1/48 and 1/72 decal sheets will be available separately. The prices are US$9.00 and US$6.00 for the 1/48 and 1/72 sheet respectively.
