1/48 CAF CF-104 Green / Metal Schemes decal sheet

Product # 48.57 for $8.00

Product Article by Steve Bamford on July 18 2011

 

This new decal sheet from Leading Edge Models includes markings for 8 different F-104's in 2 different schemes.  You get enough markings to build 2 jets and enough serial numbers for 8 or more jets if you mix and match serial numbers.....and a selection of single seat and dual seat Starfighters.  

This decal sheet includes squadron markings for: 

  • 417 Squadron, 

  • 421 "Red Indian" Squadron, 

  • 439 "Sabre Tooth Tiger" Squadron 

  • 441 "Checkers" squadron

  • "AETE Test Aircraft", 

This decal sheet is also available in 1/32 scale.

The 2 pages of instructions are clear and provide plenty of info to assist you with building your CF-104 and applying the markings.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet.  Two complete set of stencils are included on this decal sheet.

One of the jets featured on this decal sheet is 104732 Canadair CF-104 Starfighter of CAF 417 Squadron. This aircraft was lost in a flat spin, pilot ejected safely, 30 April 1982.

This sheet is a bargain for all the Squadron and CF-104's it covers and I am impressed with this latest release from Leading Edge Models.

I would like to thank Leading Edge Models for providing me with this review sample.  You can buy this decal sheet directly from the  Leading Edge Models website.
