This subjects in this release include:

- Spitfire Mk.VIII, unknown, 308 FS, USAAF, HL-K, Castel Volturno, Italy, 1944
The sheet is printed by Cartograf and is very sharp as well as in-register. The sheet comes with two sets of maintenance stencils and good instructions on where everything goes. If you're looking for some interesting camouflage schemes for your Gustav, this set is just what you're looking for.
My sincere thanks to BarracudaCals Decals for this review sample!
