The 7 aircraft include an expanded variety of aircraft that helped defend Pearl Harbor during and after the attack. 

  • P-40B flown by 2nd LT Welch 47 PS, 15PG.  Credited with 4 kills.  

  • P-40B flown by 2nd LT Taylor 47 PS, 15PG.  Credited with 4 kills.

  • SBD-3 BuNo 4570 Lt. C Dickson /RM1 W. Miller VS-6 

  • F4F-3A Wildcat BuNo 3916 flown by Ens Daniels aboard USS Enterprise (went hunting Japanese fleet after attack) 

  • PBY-5 BuNo 24194570 attacked mini sub that was sunk by USS Ward.

  • P-36A Flown by 2nd Lt P Rasmussen 46PS, 15PG, (1 kill)

  • P-36A Flown by 2nd Lt H Brown 47PS, 15PG, (2 kills)

The 3 pages of instructions are clear and include color views of all areas of each aircraft.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet.  I've seen many decal sheets for the Pearl Harbor aircraft, but it is a pleasant change to see some of the lesser known Pearl Harbor defenders being recognized for their involvement in defending the Islands during that attack. 

I would like to thank Starfighter Decals for providing me with this product sample.
