Dash Two decals was founded in 2005 by a long-time plastic modeler who had a hard time finding markings he was interested in. The only way to get the markings nobody else would make is to learn how to take the plunge and learn the process, starting with creating vector artwork. I cannot say who the printer(s) are for the water slide decals, but they are names well respected and known to the scale modeling community.

Brandon Lowe has introduced the Squadron Cutting Mat in a clear resealable package. This is a very useful tool to protect your modeling desk as well as prolong the life of your blades. This 1/8” thick ‘self-healing’ cutting mat features solid white lines to denote one-inch squares that are subdivided by half-inch squares denoted by dotted white lines. The printed grid is 17-inches by 11-inches with the overall size of the cutting mat, 17.6875” x 11.8125”. Centered on the cutting mat is a Boeing B-17 dorsal view drawing in white; but wait; this cutting mat is also two-sided with a duplicated Boeing B-17 drawing and grid on the other side!

This book contains 224 pages, 225+ B&W and color photos and is 10inches x 10 inches. It has 10 chapters and 4 appendices. It is a thorough examination of what it took to form the Blues and what it has taken to maintain one of the best aerobatic display teams in the world.

The book begins with the 1946 formation of the U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron in Jacksonville Florida. Beginning with the Grumman F6F Hellcat, the Blues have flown 5 total Grumman designs. These include the F8F Bearcat, F9F Panther and Cougar and the F-11 Tiger. There have been 3 designs from McDonnell Douglas. The F4 Phantom, A-4 Skyhawk, and the F-18 Hornet. Currently they fly the Boeing produced F/A-18 Super Hornet.
