This is a rare event
for Leading
Edge Models, a decal sheet for US planes. Leading Edge Models has done
decals of non-Canadian aircraft in the past...but it is rare. This latest decal set from
Leading
Edge Models is very well done and highly complete.
This is one very nice decal
sheet. The painting of the aircraft would be fairly simple....paint it
white with a black anti-glare panel in front of the cockpit and start applying
decals. A white F-18 with bright red stripes is quite striking. The
single full page of instructions is very detailed to help you get
this paint scheme perfect. The 1/48 set includes 2 decal sheets and the 1/72 set includes 1 large decal sheet.
The printing quality is also flawless and
shows no signs of loss of crispness in this smaller scale. The printing
quality of this decal sheet is typical Leading Edge flawlessness. Even the
stencils on the 1/72 sheet are readable.
Abovew is a
photo of the complete 1/48 decal set. It's good to see a decal sheet of an
American Test Pilots School F-18.
This sheet is sure to be popular
due to the fact it's a US plane and will sell out quickly I suspect.
Special thanks to
Dave at Leading Edge Models for the review
samples.
