The first two sheets of decals contain the bulk of the national and distinctive markings. The second pair of sheets provide the tail numbers and identification markings in black and gray. The remaining small sheets provide addition markings and the colorful tail air of Diana.

There are some interesting color choices with these decals. You can see from the profiles that there are a number of different camouflage schemes in use besides the 'standard' USAF pattern If you're looking for an eye-catching Viper that will stand out on the contest table, this is the set you've been waiting for. This set is highly recommended!

My sincere thanks to Zotz for this review sample! These are also available in 1/48 and 1/72 scale.
