Here's a review of a new 1/144 sheet from Xtradecals, Hawker Hunters in RAF and Foreign Service.

Markings for 33 jets are included!

RAF Squadrons Nos 1, 2, 4, 14, 20, 8/43, 43, 54, 63, 65, 79/229OCU, 79/1TWU, 92, 263, and Abu Dhabi, Belgium, India, R. Jordanian, Kenya, Royal Netherlands, Oman, Qatar, R. Saudi, Rep. Singapore, Rhodesia, Zimbawe.

The decals are in-register, clear and are beautifully printed by Microscale. There are plenty of options with various paint schemes as well. Each aircraft's markings are separated on the sheet by a dashed-line to make it easier to differentiate them.
