Tombstone
tail art is amusing....it is a white tombstone with the rising sun Japanese
flay and numerous "red meat balls" under the flag.
The 2 pages of instructions are
clear and include 1 color side profile of each aircraft as well as
underside of one wing to assist in decal placement. The decals
are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet with prop blade tip decals. I
quite enjoyed the selection of markings including the tombstone tail art and the
kill markings.
I would like to
thank Starfighter
Decals for
providing me with this product sample.
