The subjects covered in this set include:

  • T-33A, 52-9682, 119 FIS, New Jersey ANG, 1980s
  • T-33A, 53-5816, 178 FIS, North Dakota ANG, 1975
  • T-33A, 53-5816, 178 FIS, North Dakota ANG, 1983
  • T-33A, 53-5959, 123 FIS, Oregon ANG, 1984
  • T-33A, 52-9655, 111 FIS, Texas ANG, 1986

The markings are nicely printed (by Cartograf) and provide national markings, distinctive tail art markings as well as a nice set of airframe stencils. The decals are all single-layer - none of them require you to stack one decal atop another to recreate complex art as with some other decal manufacturers.

For more information about this set and the other releases from Caracal Models, visit their website at http://caracalmodels.com.

My sincere thanks to Caracal Models for this review sample!
