MAW-Decals is a relatively new decal company that seems to be
well-placed to get quality information - Camp Lejuene, NC. MAW
(for Marine Air Wing) is affiliated with VF Decals (VF - Navy Fighter
Squadron).
In this release, MAW Decals has taken a different approach to
their aircraft markings, rather than cover several Hornets from
the same unit, they've provided a historical cross-section of aircraft
assigned to the squadron over its jet-age history.
The three aircraft covered in this set are :
- F/A-18D, 164959, VMFA(AW)-533, ED/01, April
2004 Operation Iraqi Freedom
- A-E(TRAM), 158041, VMA(AW)-533, ED/405, 1991 Operation Desert
Storm
- A-4B, 144981, VMA-533, ED/7, 1964
The decal printing is crisp and colorful and the instructions
are printed in full color.
This set is definitely recommended!
