This is another value-added set having both decals and masks. The modeler will have an option for how to replicate the demo scheme. For striping this set supplies only the white decals. One heads-up related to the white color; the graphics decals and the striping decals are not an exact color match. The graphics like the hearts on the fuselage strakes appear to be slightly off-white, almost white-grey.

There is a set of masks that can be used for the white striping and a small stripe of the red from the leading edge of the wing up to the nose of the cockpit canopy. Without the red and blue striping as decals the masks may be the better option from this set.

When you look at the individual decals, what caught my eye right off the bat was how well the placards look. The lettering and lines have a bright silver metallic look to them that I don’t see in other decals. Printing on the smaller warning decals is crisp and readable at what looks like size 2 font. The registration on all the colors on my sheet looks perfect, no issues. The decals overall are very, very thin. You can hardly feel them on the sheet. When applying them be careful not to let them curl over on themselves. Apply right off the sheet to the aircraft if possible.

To test out how well the Syh@Syhart white decals cover darker colors I had a dark gunship grey basecoat handy and applied one of the white stripes to check coverage. Check out the picture for yourself, looks like good coverage. The decals settled into the fine panel lines on a 1/48 scale F-15 using just MicroSol. They also stood up to Solvaset without any issues as you can see from the picture.

Many thanks to IPMS and Syhart for this review sample
