Starfighter Decals

A new-to-me decal company has supplied items for review. While this is the first I have heard of them I'm hoping it won't be the last. The decals shown here are extremely well done and are awesome in what they have accomplished. For example, if you look at the USS Saratoga sheet with markings for the aircraft, every single decal on these sheets are legible. Legible! Imagine!

While these decals are ALPS-generated and have been overcoated, you still must exercise caution. ALPS-generated decals are normally more fragile than any others and the colors will rub off if you're too ham-fisted with these.

1/144th Decals 144-101, VAW-112 Golden Hawks 77-80 144-104, VFA-105 Gunslingers 2004-05 144-118, Marine Hornets Pt.I VMFA 115&232 F/A-18A+
1/72nd Decals 72-101 SBC-4 Helldiver Part 1 72-102 F4B-4 Part One 72-103 F4B-4 Part 2
1/350th - 350-27 Saratoga Air Group 1940
1/350th - 350-300 Generic Deck Vehicle Markings
1/700th - 700-27 CVN-73 USS George Washington Deck Markings
1/700th - 700-41 Carrier Air Wing 2 USS Constellation OIF 2003

The really nice aspect of Starfighter is they cater to the "lesser" kits. So far - thankfully - no 109 or 51 or Spit decals, instead concentrating (so far) on the US Navy and primarily ships and things that go on those ships.

Naturally, the decals I most admire and am thankful for are the 1/72nd ones. Finally, some decals for the old Matchbox and Heller Helldiver and Monogram/Accurate Miniatures F4B-4!! Let's hope they continue and release decals for the Monogram F11C-2 and eventually venture into USAAC and the Monogram/Accurate Miniatures and Olimp P-6E and Matchbox P-12E.

Huge thanks to Starfighter Decals for sending these much needed decals for review.
