Syhart Decals has released a decal sheet for a commemorative scheme flown by an F-4D in 1989 celebrating the North Dakota Centennial. The aircraft was repainted in a vibrant blue. The decal sheet includes recommendations for color matches from Humbrol, Revell, Tamiya, Gunze, Model Master, and the RAL standard. The aircraft wore a very elaborate painting in the lower wing area reproducing the state seal.

The complex decoration of the lower wing is reproduced as an elaborate multipart decal, which will fit within the different missile bays, landing gear bays, etc., of Phantom II. I would recommend starting with the central decal and building the rest of the state seal from the center towards the periphery.

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.

I recommend this decal set for those modelers looking for a unique set of markings for their F-4D Phantom II. I would like to thank IPMS/USA and Syhart decals for the review sample.
