This new decal sheet from Cutting Edge Modelworks features markings for three Pegasus rockets and four L-1011 launch aircraft.  The recommended kits are the 1/144 Cutting Edge Pegasus and Pegasus XL and the 1/144 Minicraft or other L-1011 kits.  

The Pagasus vehicle is an air-launched space booster created to give small satellite users a cost effective and reliable method for placing payloads into low earth orbit.  The vehicle is produced by Orbital Sciences Corporation and Hercules Aerospace Company.  NASA's B-52 launch vehicle was used to launch the Pegasus fir the first six launches from 1990 to 1994.  After that an Orbital Sciences L-1011 "Stargazer" aircraft launched the Pegasus.

The decals are contained on 3 decal sheets.  You get enough markings to make 3 Pegasus rockets and one of 4 different L-1011 launch vehicles.  The decals were 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 includes side view drawings. 

A very nice decal sheet and highly recommended for all the Space modeller as well as airliner modellers.

I would like to thank Cutting Edge Modelworks for providing me with this review sample.
