This set has markings for 24 T-33A and
AT-33A Shooting Star aircraft from the Mexican Air Force (Fuerza Aerea
Mexincana), Bolivian Air Force (Fuerza Aerea Boliviana), Brazilian Air
Force (Fuerza Aerea Brasileira) and USAF T-Birds stationed in Libya. Like
the first set above, the enclosed booklet also includes a wealth of information
to mark that unique aircraft. Instructions are in Spanish and English.
This decal set also includes a second sheet with T-33
data stencils. As you can see in the above photos, this is one of the
most densely printed decal sheets that I can recall! The registry is spot
on, and the white backgrounds on the sharkmouths and national markings
appear to be opaque enough to handle any color background they're
placed on. This is truly an amazing piece of work!
Conclusion
These decals rival the best sets I've ever seen out of Aeromaster, Superscale, Repliscale, or
anyone else for that matter! This is a very impressive start from this
company and I am looking forward to their future offerings!
