The decals themselves are
flawlessly printed and very clearly printed on the 1/72 samples I have before me
and are contained on 2 decal sheets and one insert decal sheet. Stencils are not included.
Colours look solid and should cover very well, but the decals appear thin and of
a very high quality.
Wow....overwhelmed by the
selection and great variety of colourful paint schemes. If you are jsut
going to but one Buccaneer decal sheet then this is the one to get. My
favourite was the Winter Distemper (grey/white camo) Bucc, but to be honest
there are so many on this decal sheet that are just begging to be built.
Buy this decal sheet while you can, it won't last long.
You can order these decals direct
from aviation-workshop@btconnect.com
Contact them for prices and ordering information.
