Here is a review of a new release by MAW Decals headed up by Creighton Henthorn. MAW stands for Marine Aircraft Wing.

Two different markings are included for two aircraft

BuNo 164959 from VMFA(AW)-533

BuNo 164694 from VMFA(AW)-224

Markings are included for 2 hi-vis jets from VMFA(AW)-224 and VMFA(AW)-533. Some stencils are included as well. Though, the formation light panels will need to be sourced from the kit, which should not be an issue.

The decals are beautifully printed by Microscale, and are in-register. The smallest of markings are crisp and clear, and the white markings are very bright and clean.

There is also a full color 2-sided instruction sheet with FS color callouts, paint patterns and very nice artwork.

A bonus CD is included that has numerous, outstanding reference photos for VMVFA(AW)-224, 332 and 533 (including squadron patches), and a load out Word document. This is a great addition and reference collection.

Recommended Kits:

  • 1/32nd Scale

    • Academy F/A-18D

Special thanks are given to:

Lt. Col "Migs" Roberts

Capt "Enron" Blair

Ssgt Roof

 

This sheet retails for $15.00 and is available through http://www.vfdecals.com/MAW/decals.html with free shipping in the US.

Special thanks to MAW Decals for the review sample.
