product # 72-113  $5.00  for Hasegawa F4F-3 Kit

Review by Steve Bamford on June 2 2009

 

This new decal sheet from Starfighter Decals includes markings for 4 different aircraft and is designed to fit the Hasegawa F4F-4 Wildcat kit with Quickboost F4F-3 Wings and Cowl set. 

Markings for 4 different F4F-3 Wildcats to include:

  • 4-F-1 VF4 from the New York World's Fair Naval Aviation Display in 1940 

  • 42-F-2 VF-42 USS Ranger in December of 1940 

  • 72-F-7, VF-72 from the National Naval Aviation Museum;

  • 42-F-8 VF-42 Chambers Field, NAS Norfolk in Mar 1940 sporting a unique paint scheme.

Don't forget the Quickboost wings and cowl, True Details Cockpit set and Squadron Vacuform Canopy available elsewhere on the Starfighter Decals website.

The 3 pages of instructions are clear and include 2 color views of each aircraft, which is enough....these are simple paint schemes.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet.  All 4 planes have the bright yellow wings with colorful stripes and colorful tails.

A nice decal sheet and it is good to see some aftermarket markings for the 1/72 Wildcats.

I would like to thank Starfighter Decals for providing me with this review sample.
