white stars on the fuselage side.

The instructions are clear and
include 1 views of each aircraft as well as generic top and bottom views of
these aircraft as well as text information to assist in the painting and
decaling process. The decals are beautifully printed on 2 decal sheets.
Two complete set of stencils is included on this decal sheet. Walkways are
provided as decals, so you have the option to use the decals provided or mask
and paint the walkways.
It's good to see
some decals for the VMFA-451 Warlords F-4J's and this decal sheet captures 3 of
their jets from the late's 70's. I love the Mace artwork on the tail of
one of these Phantoms.
