Most of know the story of the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo from the top Secret base Shangri-la (aka USS Hornet) in the dark days shortly after WW2.  Well this decal sheet features one of the more interesting B-25's that was part of that raid.  The pilot of this aircraft was injured  and lost a leg in this mission and later returned home and wrote the book "30 seconds over Tokyo".  Plus you get a whole host of other bombers...all on one decal sheet.

The instructions are exhaustively detailed and provide a wealth of text on each aircraft type to assist the modeller.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet.  Wolfpak Decals is famous for carrying a variety of aircraft on one decal sheet and this release is no exception.  It's good to see this sort of variety from B-24's to B-1's and plenty in between...including a chopper.  The CH-47D features a big Daffy Duck cartoon on the nose.  The B-52 features Donald Duck standing on a cloud getting ready to toss a round black bomb with the fuse already lit with the text beside him that reads "Let's make a deal".    

It's a treat to see all the variety of interesting subjects Wolfpak Decals comes up with for ach of their decal sheets.
