T-45C

Caracal Models 1/48 T-45C US Navy Part 3 Decal First Look

By Michael Benolkin

Date of Review January 2013 Manufacturer Caracal Models

Set Number 48025 Pros Five distinctive aircraft
Cons Nothing noted Skill Level Experienced
MSRP (USD) $15.99

First Look

Here is the latest release from Caracal Models, this time providing the third of several aftermarket decal options for the new Kinetic T-45 Goshawk kit. The set provides two distinctive aircraft options which include:

T-45C T-45C

  • T-45C, 165624, TW-1, Salty Dog, A/182, NAS Meridian
  • T-45C, 165088, VT-9, Tigers, A/109, NAS Meridian

The markings are nicely printed (by Cartograf) and provide national markings, distinctive unit markings, as well as aircraft identification markings, right down to correct data blocks for two complete aircraft. 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!
