snickers Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) Hi, Is there a 1/72 decal sheet available for Spanish F/A-18A+? Are the stencils printed in Spanish? Or just the roundels? If only the roundels, can anyone assist me so that i'll just gonna make roundels and not to spend money for AM decals. Thanks.

JackMan Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I believe Hasegawa once released an F/A-18C hornet called "WORLD HORNET" which included decals for a Spanish bird. Kit no: 2880 Series: Dt 120 http://www.priceminister.com/offer/buy/592...wa-1-72eme.html If I'm not mistaken, I think VFA Productions also made a sheet for it but I can't recall if it was for a Swiss bird or a Spanish one.

Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) Amazingly enough, I do have the decals left over from that kit, from over 15 years ago. The Spanish option shows everything to be in English, although most of the stencilling is too small to realize this anyway. Really it comes down to the intake warning markings, "No Step" for the tails and "Do Not Paint" for various details. Unfortunately what I do not have is the instructions. Do you have sufficient Hornet references to figure out where they would go? And, where are you located?

j-basset Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Actually, F-4DableModels did an Export Hornet decal sheet covering Finnish, Spanish & Swiss jets in all 3 scales. The research on the EdA jets were based on the original EF-18 and top-up F/A-18's. Not sure how much difference for the F/A-18A+, but I'm pretty sure you can cobble together something you can use from the stencils and serial no. blocks provided. check it out here: www.F-4DableModels.com Jason C.

JackMan Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 *slaps forehead* Yes, it was F-4DableModels and not VFA Productions. I got the 2 names mixed up. Sorry about that. No wonder I didn't find anything when I tried to google it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenshb Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 The Arctic Tigers sheets from Model Alliance also feature Spanish F-18sm though in tiger stripes. Jens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 SERIES ESPANOLAS also do Spanish Hornets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Aztec does a nice sheet with EdlA Hornets as well. Mine had a seperate insert not shown on the Aztec page with extra full tail art for another Spanish F/A-18. HTH, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Kewl info, folks! Well, if you're STILL in a bind after hunting down any of the suggestions, you're welcome to the Hase kit decals if you want them. Just shoot me a PM and I'll get them off to you.
