This new decal sheet from F-4DableModels includes markings for many different F-18A/B/D's from Malaysia and Spain. 

The Malaysian aircraft include 

  • F/A-18D M45-04, 18 Squadron, Butterworth, 2001

  • F/A-18D M45-06, 18 Squadron, Butterworth, 2004

  • Plus extra serial numbers to do other F-18D's operated by Malaysia. 

The Spanish Aircraft include

  • EF-18B C.15-08, Ala 12, Torrejon AB

  • EF-18A C.15-59, Ala 12, Torrejon AB - Operation Allied Force

  • EF-18A C.15-14, Ala 15, Zaragoza AB

  • EF-18A C.15-84, Escuadron 462, Gando AB

  • Plus extra serial numbers to do any of the 96 F-18A/B's operated by the Swiss. These Spanish aircraft all include Squadron artwork on the tails.

The decals are contained on 2 decal sheets and are flawlessly printed and in perfect registration and the clear carrier film is trimmed very close to the crisply printed colored areas.  

The instructions are clear and include colour drawings  and 3 view black and white drawings to assist in decal placement as well as having the specific FS#'s and paint  manufacturer colours listed on the instruction sheets to aid in the painting process.  There is also 1 page of text including modelling information as well as weapons loadout information about all the aircraft from both countries featured on this decal sheet.

A very nice decal sheet and will be of big interest to anyone wanting to build either Spanish or Malaysian F-18A/B/D's.

I would like to thank F-4DableModels for providing me with this review sample.
