--------------------

 

This new decal sheet from Starfighter Decals includes markings for 3 different 1/72 Boeing F4B-4 from 1933-37.  This is part 1 in this decal series

The 3 aircraft includes 3 different paint schemes with plenty of color from the 1930's, which was a time when America was at peace and the planes with very colorful.

  • F4B-4 9256 VF-3B USS Ranger 1933

  • F4B-4 9246 VF-6 USS Enterprise 1937 (Work-up Aircraft. Never deployed)

  • F4B-4 9051 VB-5 USS Lexington 1934

The 2 pages of instructions are clear and include 3 color views of each aircraft.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet.  The instruction sheet also gives paint and markings info for each aircraft.  The decals are printed by Cartograf and are of a first rate quality.....you will not be disappointed.

Research was done by Mark Tutton, Mike Lampros and Robert Chandler, well done guys!!!   I am impressed by these decal sheets from Starfighter Decals and if you are planning to build one of these pre-War Boeing F4B-4 then you need to check out this decal sheet.
