Begemot Decals is an interesting decal company from Rostov-on-Don, Russia that offers a nice array of markings for Russian-built aircraft. In this release, they've also taken a look at the USAF's newest bomber, the B-2A Spirit. This set provides a VERY nice array of markings for five airframes and includes maintenance stenciling and walkways.

There are 5 aircraft covered in this set:

  • B-2A, 88-0329, 509 BW, WM, Whiteman AFB, 'Spirit of Missouri'
  • B-2A, 83-1068, AFFTC, ED, Edwards AFB, 'Spirit of New York'
  • B-2A, 88-0332, 509 BW, WM, Whiteman AFB, 'Spirit of Washington
  • B-2A, 90-0040, 509 BW, WM, Whiteman AFB, 'Spirit of Alaska'
  • B-2A, 93-1087, 509 BW, WM, Whiteman AFB, 'Spirit of Pennsylvania'
Mi-8 Mi-8

The decal printing is perfectly in register. The instructions are printed on two sheets that provide not only decal placement for each aircraft, but also a nice color reference for each aircraft as well. Decals include the distinctive aircraft markings as well as appropriate national markings.

This set is definitely recommended!

My sincere thanks to Begemot Decals for this review sample!
