MAW Decals

1/32 F/A-18D Hornet The "Green Knights"

Sheet Number: 32MAW003

Reviewed by  Ed Kinney, IPMS# 2989

MSRP: $9.99 This is a fairly new producer of fine quality decals dedicated to Leatherneck fixed and rotary wing aircraft in all 3 scales. And, at least, for me, a most welcome addition to the aftermarket. These decals are thin, well printed and registered, and the artwork is excellent. This specific sheet offers the markings for an F/A-18D Hornet from the time period of October '04. The instructions are well detailed and printed on both sides of heavy stock paper in full color with easy to follow placement instructions. In addition, as images show, is an 8-1/2 x 11 sheet showing suggested placement of fuel tanks and ordnance for each pylon and hard point. On this specific aircraft, the national insignia appear to be somewhat misshapen, but according to the instruction sheet, this is correct. Only one set of markings for this VMFA(AW) 121 aircraft are included here, but a really nice touch, the decals for both ejection seats are included. This and other MAW decals can be viewed on their website (www.mawdecals.com). Many thanks to Creighton Henthorn at MAW for the review sample. Highly recommended
