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

 

This new decal sheet from Starfighter Decals includes markings for two F11C-2 Goshawks from the USS Saratoga's 1933-34 cruise and four BFC-2 Goshawks from both the USS Saratoga and USS Enterprise. Units covered are VF-1B, VB-2B, VB-3, and VB-6.

The 6 colorful aircraft are all inter war USN aircraft in all their bright colors before WW2 began. 

  • FIIC-2 9363 VF-1B "Tophatters" U.S.S. Saratoga in 1933.  

  • FIIC-2 9282 VF-1B "Tophatters" U.S.S. Saratoga in 1933.  

  • BFC-2 9272 VF-2B U.S.S. Saratoga in 1934.  

  • BFC-2 9333 VF-3B U.S.S. Saratoga in 1937.  

  • BFC-2 9332 VF-2B U.S.S. Saratoga in 1934.  

  • BFC-2 9338 VB-6 U.S.S. Enterprise in 1938.

The 4 pages of instructions are clear and include 1 side profile as well as additional views to help painting the wings.  The decals are printed by Cartograf and are of a first rate quality.....you will not be disappointed.  You will need Hamilton Standard Prop markings from your Spares Box for the Prop. 

Starfighter Decals has a very nice selection of other inter war biplane decals that are well worth checking out.

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