| Many of us grew up buiding box scale ships.
Even with todays finely molded kits in the more popular scales of 1/700
and 1/350, there is still demand for these old kits. One of the biggest

| Markings include Flight Deck Numbers, Runway markings, Foul Lines, Island Billboard, Hull Numbers Ship’s Name, Elevator outlines, Warning stripes, Jet Blast Deflectors, and Ordnance Elevators, There are even markings for the Ship’s Boats. The white marking don't show up well on the light colored decals so I exaggerated the contrast on the image on the right to give you an idea of what is on the second sheet. |  |

The instructions are two sheets with notes on how and where
to apply the decals.Flight deck diagrams on the second sheet show the deck
markings.

| CONCLUSIONS | ||||||
The decals are printed on an Alps printer and you will need to trim the decals to size. They are sharply rendered and even the small markings are easily recognizable. This is set #540-2 CVS-10 Yorktown w/CVGS 55 1968 with a list price of $20. You can get this decal set from Starfighter Decals. You can now order online with their secure shopping site. |
