Designed for the Hasegawa F4F-4
kit with the Quickboost F4F-3 Wings and Cowl. Markings for 6 different aircraft.
Additional National Insignia will be necessary for those who want to use all 6
sets.
Don't forget to order the Quickboost Wings & Cowl, True Details Cockpit set,
and Squadron Vacuform Canopy available on the Starfighter
Decals website.
The 4 pages of instructions are
clear and include 3 color views of each aircraft. The decals are
beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet. One of these planes does have the
bright yellow wings while the others are in a variety of gray schemes.
A nice decal sheet and it is good
to see some aftermarket markings for the 1/72 Wildcats.

I would like to
