This 1/48 and 1/32 decal sheet features a Japanese F-4EJ Kai from Misawa in a special JASDF pre 50th Anniversary.  Markings include a blue dragon on one side and a green dragon on the other side of the fuselage.  The tail features a Samurai on one side and a black panther on the other side of the tail.

The 1/32 decal sheet contains 3 resin parts.  Two are for the wing tips and one of for the top of the tail.

For stencil data it is suggested you use decals from the 1/32 Tamiya F-4EJ kit or the 1/48 Hasegawa F-4EJ Kai 8th SQ Panthers.

Artwork decals also have white decals to go underneath the artwork to ensure the camo colours don't show through the decals. 

One decal sheet contains cloud decals which are part of the artwork.

The decal sheet is beautifully printed and perfectly in register.  The cloud decals are beautifully rendered.....apparently this took quite a while for Zotz decals to get "just right".  The resin parts for the 1/32 sheets are expertly cast with no air bubbles and crisp details.  The instructions are easy to follow and include colour photos of the real aircraft showing decal placement and black and white line drawings showing the layout of the camo pattern from 4 different views.

A very nice decal sheet that is sure to be popular.  I'd like to thank Zotz Decals for the review sample.
