blue on top and gray on the underside with the classic national insignia

reminds me of the US aircraft in the pre-WW2 time period.

overall 2 tone blue on top with gray underside and a big thunderbolt artwork

Plus you get all
this at a 20% discount over buying each sheet individually.
And for you 1/48 and
1/32 modellers.....this same sort of package will also be available for you.
The instructions are clear and
include 4 views of each aircraft. The decals are beautifully printed on
numerous decal sheets. Paint codes are called out in FS #'s, Testors MM,
Humbrol, Gunze Sangyo and Xtracrylics.
This one heck of a deal and gives
you all the Centennial of Naval Aviation special jets to build....which would
make one heck of an impressive display. These are a very special jet and
this 1/72 CoNA Platinum Set is an excellent way to buy all these sheets for a
very good price.
This sheet is available through
the Twobobs
website and select US Hobby Shops. Overseas customers can purchase these from
Twobobs site or through Twobobs network of overseas distributors.
I would like to thank
Twobobs
