This is another big

Well the
decals themselves are beautifully printed and perfectly in register. These
decals are thick enough to provide good coverage of colours, but thin enough to
conform nicely. If you break down the cost per model...these are the
cheapest decals you will find.
The instruction sheets are full
of information about each aircraft.
If you want a big selection of
markings for RA-5C Vigilantes....then this is the sheet for
you. I recommend this decal set to anyone who has the new RA-5C Vigilante
and is looking for a huge variety of markings.
I'd like to thank
Paul at Victory Models for bringing
this sheet to my attention by sending me a review sample.
