Fantasy Printshop printed these decals and they are superb. They are crisply printed, fully legible, in register and have excellent color.
I've always been a Sabre fan. They were exciting, successful aircraft finished with some of the 1950's most colorful markings. If you're looking for a colorful 1/32nd scale F-86 you'll have 6 great options to choose from with this exciting new Euro Decals sheet. I recommend these decals and I would like to thank Fantasy Printshop for the review sample.
