This decal set of famous F4U-1 Corsairs appears to be of exceptional quality. The colours are well interpreted, the print quality very good, with minimal carrier film. One thing which I like are the several options for font size, or BuNo options, where there doesn’t appear to be hard evidence for the correct option. The instructions give a small history on each aircraft, which is a nice touch.

This set includes stencils, and Hamilton Standard propeller decals are also included. National insignia are enough to complete 1 aircraft.

The 4 subjects covered by this set are:

  • Big Hog VF-17

  • Brat III VFM-225

  • Lucybelle VMF-214 (commonly known as Lulubelle, until recent evidence proved otherwise)

  • Luscious Lil Nan VMF-321
