Review by Steve Bamford on May 9 2008

--------------------

This new decal sheet from Leading Edge Models has been much anticipated for many years.  It features the CAF F-18's that flew overhead during the 50th Anniversary of the D-Day landings on June 6 1994.  

The two CF-18's on this sheet are aircraft #703 and #781, both wearing the identical D-Day anniversary markings.  Hasegawa released a 1/48 CF-18 model wearing these markings, BUT the Hasegawa decals are incorrect and have the JEJ code letters on both sides. The real aircraft had JEJ on one side and 9GA on the other side, so if you want to do this aircraft correctly, then you need this decal sheet. 

The instructions are clear and include 4 views of each aircraft.  The decals are beautifully printed on 4 decal sheets.  One complete set of stencils is included on this decal sheet.

When I opened up the package and saw these decals I was quite excited....these are much anticipated and will sell fast...buy 'em while you can.

I would like to thank Leading Edge Models for providing me with this review sample.
