First Look

Eurodecals has released an interesting utitlity decal sheet for modern US military aircraft. This set in 1/48 scale, has national markings, ejection seat triangle warnings, and where applicable, intake warnings designed for specific aircraft subjects and in the right low-visibility colors, all on this set printed on two A5 decal sheets by Fantasy Printshop. The subjects include:

  • A-4 Skyhawk
  • AV-8B Harrier II (two color options)
  • A-10 Thunderbolt II
  • KC-135E Stratotanker
  • F-8J Crusader
  • F-14 Tomcat
  • F-15C Eagle
  • F-15E Strike Eagle
  • F-16 Fighting Falcon
  • F/A-18 Hornet
  • F-117 Nighthawk
  • MH-60 Seahawk
  • V-22 Osprey

In addition, this set also includes US low-visibility national markings in a variety of styles and sizes, as well as rescue, ejection seat warnings, NAVY and MARINE service markings, also in different colors and sizes.

This is the type of decal set you need to have stashed away for those times when you're replicating an aircraft subject for which no decals are available, or when the decal set your using seems to be having problems that require back-up markings to complete the project. This set is also released in 1/72 scale (which explains the KC-135 markings).

My sincere thanks to Fantasy Printshop for this review sample!
