Syhart Decals has released a decal sheet for a commemorative scheme flown by an RF-4E of the Hellenic Air Force when the aircraft was retired from service and the squadron was disbanded. The aircraft was repainted in a combination of black and dark blue and wore a complex scheme including the silhouettes of previous aircraft flown by the 348^th Squadron, the Greek flag, and “Spook”, the green-caped mascot associated with the “Phantom II”.

For the Greek flag, there is the option of using masks for the medium blue background and then another decal for the white stripes, or just two sets of decals (blue decals and then the decal with the white stripes on top of the blue decal). There is also a correction sheet with Spook, but honestly, I cannot find the difference between the original Spook and the corrected Spook.

This is an on-the-sheet review, so I have not tested the decals themselves, but the decal sheet itself is printed in vivid colors and perfect registry. They seem thin, and they are quite glossy, which likely means they will conform to the surface detail well.

This is a striking finish for an aircraft. Phantom lovers should be all over this sheet, and I recommend it to them. I would like to thank IPMS/USA and Syhart decals for the review sample.
