The 8 Sikorsky SH-60B Seahawk's including 5 US Navy machines and 3 in Spanish Navy markings.  I think what caught my eye first on this decal sheet if the very large selection of artwork....if you like Seahawks with artwork then this sheet is well worth buying.

I'm always cautious how big artwork is laid out in decal form, because if the artwork is in one massive decal that the modeller has to magically conform to complicated curves, then the chance of disaster goes way up.  This decal sheet has been merciful as you can see with the Tiger markings.  The modeller paints the tail boom orange...then applies individual Tiger strip decals and finishes it all off with a very colourful Tigers head artwork...thus giving you superior results with minimal stress.  Trust me....less stress this hobby is better. 

Of course you get other artwork, which has become the focus of model decal sheet from Authentic Decals and this other artwork even includes a sharks mouth.

I'm impressed by the machines covered by this decal sheet.....it's good to see the Seahawk in all this coulorful artwork and the Tiger scheme Seahawk is the one that sold me on this sheet.

You can buy this decal sheet and thousands of other items directly from the Sprue Brothers Models site They are famous for their prompt service.
