Here is a review of a new release by MAW Decals headed up by Creighton Henthorn. MAW stands for Marine Aircraft Wing. Two different markings are included for two aircraft, both from January 2004 BuNo 164278 & 164265: Markings are included for a hi-vis blue/white-tailed commander's jet( with a blue fuel tank) and a low- vis jet. Many stencils, included the walkway markings, are included as well and cover both jets. A smaller sheet contains the formation light panels. A nice feature are the front under-side fuselage decals for the vents, and even some ejection seat decals. The decals are beautifully printed by Microscale, and are in-register. The smallest of markings are crisp and clear, and the white markings are very bright and clean. |

is also a full color 2-sided instruction sheet with FS color callouts,
paint patterns and very nice artwork. A single-sided sheet is included
with numerous weapons loads combinations.
Recommended Kits:
This sheet retails for $12.00 and is available through http://www.vfdecals.com/MAW/decals.html with free shipping in the US. Special thanks to MAW Decals for the review sample. Ken
