There are 3 decal sheets
(2 large sheets and one smaller sheet) included in this decal set.
Of the 6 A-7's featured on this decal sheet......4 are Vietnam era jets
with brightly coloured markings and 2 are the low-viz paint schemes
from the Gulf War. The 3 decal
sheets are clearly printed and well laid out....making it quick and easy
to find the decals for any particular aircraft featured on this decal
sheet. The quality of the decals is first class and in perfect
register....and oh the colours...lots of colour!!! The clear carrier film is very tight around the
decals. The decals appear to have very good colour fastness but don't
appear overly thick.....these decals look like they will be a treat to
use...they should conform very nicely to your Trumpeter A-7 model.
Victory
Productions has
produced a sheet that covers the A-7 from it's early days to it's final
swan song mission over Iraq.
I'd like to thank Victory Models for bringing
this sheet to my attention by sending me a review sample.
