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

 

This new decal sheet from IsraDecal includes markings for 1/48 U.S. Marines & Navy F-21A 'Kfir' in 3 different paint schemes from the US Navy and US Marines.  These decals are designed for the Italeri and Esci kits when used with the IsraCast conversion set.

This decal sheet includes individual stencils so you can model any US Kfir you choose.  You also get side profiles for 4 jets and a top, bottom and side views showing the camo layout of the 3 different paint schemes. 

  • Kfir F-21A, #01 (999731), VMFA 401, US Marines, 1984, 1st color scheme 

  • Kfir F-21A, #02 (999732), VF 43, US Navy, 1985, 2nd color scheme 

  • Kfir F-21A, #06 (999716), VMFT 401, US Marines, 1987, 2nd color scheme

  • Kfir F-21A, #03 (999764), VMFA 401, US Marines, 1984, 3rd color Scheme

The 5 pages of instructions are clear and includes 4 color views of the 3 paint schemes used on the US Kfirs.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet and one insert decal sheet.  You get 2 complete sets of stencils, so you can build 2 Kfirs out of the 3 paint schemes used on the US Kfirs.  

The US Kfirs wore some of the best looking camo schemes worn by US jets and the only hard part is deciding which 2 of the 3 paint schemes you wish to model.  Another fine decal sheet from IsraDecal.

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