Here is another interesting decal special from Cutting Edge. This set covers special markings found on captured V-1 or US production JB-2 buzz bombs, maintenance stencils found on German production V-1s, and on four A-4 (V-2) rockets in German operations.

The decal set is printed for 1/72, 1/48 and 1/35 scale V-2 kits, and 1/72 and 1/48 V-1 kits. The markings include a variety of interesting nose art and comical stencils written on the nose of a test bird prior to launch. In the case of the JB-2, a variety of ID numbers and US markings are provided. A complete set of German maintenance stencils is also provided for the V-1 in both scales.

The instructions include nice full-color side and top profiles to illustrate decal placement and relevant color schemes.

Highly recommended!

My sincere thanks to Meteor Productions for this review sample!
