Furball Designs and Geoff Martin hit another high note with their second release, Fast Fords designed for the Tamiya 1/48 F4D kit. There are options for 11 planes with a largely varied set of markings. Printing is done by Cartograf and is superb with great opacity and registration.

The markings listed are:

1. F4D-1, 130747, NATC, Pax River NAS, 1955
2. F4D-1, 130743, NATC, Pax River NAS, 1960
3. F-6A, 134806, USN TPS, Pax River NAS, 1966
4. F4D-1, 134809, VF-141, NK/213, USS Ranger, 1958
5. F4D-1, 134843, VF-13, AK/102, USS Shangri La, 1962
6. F4D-1, 114870, VF-102, AJ/00, USS Forrestal, 1961
7. F4D-1, 134947, VF-213, NP/301, USS Lexington, 1958
8. F4D-1, 139113, VF-74, AF/106, USS Intrepid, 1959
9. F4D-1, 139071, VMF(AW)-314, VW/20, Ping Tung AB, Taiwan, 1958
10. F4D-1, 139207, VF-13, AK/100, USS Shangri La, 1962
11. F4D-1, 139207, VMF(AW)-115, AG/110, USS Independence, 1963

The schemes are not only the standard gray over white but also a Navy blue plane and several colorful examples from NAS Patuxent from the test school.

There are 5 pages of color instructions including top and bottom views. FS numbers are indicated at all turns and there are notes for each aircraft for specific ejection seats and aft fuselage configurations.

These are highly recommended to fans of the Ford. I used Furball decals for my Demon and they were perfect. My thanks to Geoff Martin and Furball Designs for the sample.
