Caracal Models 1/72 YF-23 Decals
By Matt Bittner
I'm not going to go into any political rant, but in my opinion – given the specifications of the aircraft – the YF-23 should have won the contest between it and the YF-22. Plus, I consider it far more aesthetic than the F-22; to me it looks sleek and like a modern fighter, whereas I see the F-22 as boxy and actually ugly.
Be that as it may, if you want better and more accurate decals for either your Dragon or Italeri 1/72 YF-23, then you'll want this sheet from Caracal. Not only for the completeness of the sheet, but also because you can finish your model as either of the two prototypes. The first prototype was finished overall in Gunship Gray, while the second prototype was finished in Light Ghost Gray and Dark Ghost Gray. The excellent part about this decal sheet is there are enough decals to build both prototypes. So if you're a "completest" you'll be happy with this purchase.
Many thanks to Caracal Models for sending this review decal sheet.
