This new decal
sheet from Cutting
Edge Modelworks includes a full set of stencils for the 1/32 F-86 Sabre. The recommended kit for these decals is the
1/32 Hasegawa F-86.
This set of decals sheet is
pretty straight forward. You get 2 decal sheets including a complete
selection of stencils and fuselage bands for the F-86. There are 2 sizes
of fuselage bands used during the Korean War. the initial bands were
28" wide and were applied in country or in Japan. The bands were
increased to 36" wide at the US factories starting in fiscal year
1952. Both widths of bands are included in this set of decal sheets. And
there are stencils.....piles of crisply printed stencils. All the stencils
are numbered on the decal sheet to aid with sorting out where each decal
goes. But then there is a problem. The instruction sheet....see
image at the bottom of this review in the center was printed at a very low
resolution and is very hard to figure out. This will make installation
much harder than it should be.....with patience you will be able to figure out
where most or all of the stencils go by studying the instruction sheets, but it
will take patience.
The decals were flawlessly printed and the clear
carrier film is trimmed very close to the crisply printed colored areas.
The colours look good and will cover very well. I have a soft spot for the
Sabre and any decals for this Korean fighter jet are a welcome additon.
