Designed for the Hasegawa F4F-4 kit with the Quickboost F4F-3 Wings and Cowl. Markings for 6 different aircraft. Additional National Insignia will be necessary for those who want to use all 6 sets. 

Don't forget to order the Quickboost Wings & Cowl, True Details Cockpit set, and Squadron Vacuform Canopy available on the Starfighter Decals website.

A nice decal sheet and it is good to see some aftermarket markings for the 1/72 Wildcats.
