For many, many years....modellers have craved a 1/48 and 1/72  Vigilante.  We never really expected the day would ever come in our lifetime and then a company called Trumpeter came along and began making all the models we had been asking for.  I guess it was only a matter of time before Trumpeter released the long awaited 1/48 and 1/72 Vigilante. Eli at Zotz models is famous for his colourful sheet offering many options....and this sheet is no exception.  You get markings for 7 different USN Vigilantes that served during the 1970's.  Some flew during Vietnam war with the USN an don eof the aircraft on thi ssheet is the last Vigilante to make a Carrier launch....which happened in 1979.  Markings are colourful as was common during this time period and there is very good variety in markings.

Zotz was very appreciative to Fotios Rouch and Michelle Rouch for their help making this sheet possible.  

The decals were flawlessly printed and in perfect registration and the clear carrier film is trimmed very close to the crisply printed colored areas.  The colours look very good.  There is one complete set of stencil data included.  There are also white decals to go beneath the Tiger markings on the tail.

The instructions are clear and include 1 colour side view drawing of each of the 7 aircraft.  This is yet another sheet from Zotz that is sure to sell out fast.
