| Here's
a review of a new 1/48 sheet from Afterburner Decals.
Let me first say - this sheet is packed with markings! You get the main sheet, a smaller one with the official demo team markings for the intake covers (image above, and Steel Beach intake covers suggested) and "Let's Roll" markings done by Archer Fine Transfers. |

Jets included:F005
There are 2 complete sets of stencils included. The decals are sized for the Hasegawa kits. Scott Brown from Afterburner Decals gives some more information on the sheet here from the discussion boards. Also, see here for explanation on the instruction sheets and the text not printing for the tail bands. The image corrections are at the bottom of this review

The decals are
in-register, clear and are beautifully printed. Many of the tail markings
and badges are 2 or 3 piece decals, ensuring good registry.
The color instruction sheets have 4-view drawings to assist in decal placement and the paint scheme. Also, numerous modeler notes point out tips on specific decals. An interesting side note - jets 81-022 and 81-036 were formally piloted by ARC member "Murph" and carried his name while he was assigned to the 94th TFS. Special thanks are given to:
