AOA Decals is back with a nice set of markings options for those who have built the 1/32 F-4B Phantom II using the Tamiya kit and aftermarket conversions (not included with this decal set). This release provides eight subjects from two US Marine Corps squadrons that operated in-country during Vietnam.
The aircraft provided in this decal set include:
- F-4B, 151405, VMFA-314, VW/17, Chu Lai AB, Vietnam, 1968
