The C-27J Spartan is an attractive transport aircraft and remind me very much of a smaller 2 engined version of the C-130 Hercules and Linden Hill Decals has done a wonderful job of capturing a pleasing variety of aircraft and camo schemes on this decal sheet.

I would like to thank Linden Hill Decals for providing me with this product sample.  You can buy this decal sheet directly from the Linden Hill Imports website.
