CAM Pro Series 1/48
F-4J Phantom II VMFA-235

CAM Decals has changed owners, and the decal line is not only intact, it continues to expand. This is one of the 'Pro Series' which has been developed by the new ownership.

In this release, CAM Decals has produced markings for one very distinctive US Marine Corps F-4J Phantom II of VMFA-235 Death Angels for the Hasegawa, Italeri, or Monogram kits. The aircraft presented in this decal set is:

• F-4J, 153879, VMFA-235 Death Angels, DB/9, MCAS Kaneohe Bay HI, 1970

As you can see in the decal layout, this set doesn't waste any space and provides all of the distinctive markings, national markings, and many of the more visible maintenance stencils and warning markings for the aircraft. A good supply of white stars are also provided to render the star-studded radome that really would look excellent on the scale flightline.

Time to dust off that Hasegawa 1/48 F-4J Phantom II kit though it should also work fine with Italeri's recent re-release of the ESCI F-4J (look here) or even Revell-Monogram's 1/48 F-4J (look here). This set is definitely recommended for the Phantom Phan.

My sincere thanks to CAM Decals for this review sample!
