This new decal sheet from Zotz Decals includes markings for 3 different U.S. Navy A-1H/J Skyraiders at war.  All 3 have interesting markings.

The 3 pages of instructions are clear and include 2 color views of each aircraft plus a generic top and bottom view to assist with painting and markings.  The decals are beautifully printed on 2 decal sheets (1 large and one smaller decal sheet).  

Two of the planes have colorful diagonal stripes on the fuselage and the third plane has a big spade (playing card spade) on the side of the fuselage for artwork plus a large number of mission markings.  One of these aircraft is a CAG plane and all three served in the Vietnam war from 3 different carriers. 

Thanks to Fotios Rouch, Barry Chandler, Mike Witous, Glen Coleman and especially Thierry Laurent in the creation of this decal set.

This is a great looking decal sheet and in 1/32 this will give you a very impressive looking USN Skyraider.

I would like to thank Zotz Decals for providing me with this product sample.
