First Look

MAW-Decals is a new decal company (at least to me) that seems to be well-placed to get quality information - Camp Lejuene, NC. MAW (for Marine Air Wing) is affiliated with VF Decals (VF - Navy Fighter Squadron).

F/A-18D F/A-18D

In this release, they've issued the boss bird first featured in their first 1/48 scale release from VMFA(AW)-121. This set provides a very colorful alternative for the Academy 1/32 F/A-18D Hornet kit.

The aircraft covered in this set is:

  • F/A-18D, 164685, VMFA(AW)-121 'Green Knights', VK/01, October 2004

The decal printing is crisp and colorful and also includes one set of maintenance stencils. The instructions are printed in full color.

For more information about this set and the other releases from MAW-Decals, visit their website at http://www.mawdecals.com.

My sincere thanks to MAW-Decalsfor this review sample!
