The decals are excellent quality and
in register and include stencils and oh my goodness.....the Japanese love to use
endless stencils on their jets. One nice feature is multiple stencils are
grouped on larger clear decals......which will lessen the hours to apply all
those stencils. You even get stencils for the weapons pylons as well as
the drop tank and what appears to be a travel pod. Plus you get decals for
the cockpit side consoles and the instrument panel. The artwork on both
sides of the tail is to commemorate the F-86 and the F-1 that were flown by 6SQ
in early years.
The instructions are mostly in
Japanese, but paint codes are called out in FS#'s as well as 2 brands of paint.
The Mitsubishi F-2 is a great
looking jet in it's standard blue paint scheme, but add in special anniversary
markings and you have a super great looking jet. This is a very attractive
looking 50th Anniversary jet on this decal sheet.

Hobby for the review sample......this kit is made in Japan and the high quality
is evident throughout this tiny model kit.
