I love Afterburner Decals! Scott Brown and crew come up with some of the most colorful and appealing schemes around and this release is not different. The schemes for the entire sheet are Navy aggressor squadrons as listed below:

    · TA-4J, 153672, -/07, VA-127, 1982
    · TA-4F, 153491, -/16, VF-126, 1991
    · TA-4J, 153683, -/06, VA-127, 1983

The color schemes are great and the instructions are better. One of the challenges of putting these decals to use is in painting the planes. Afterburner includes great profiles of all sides of each scheme to allow perfect painting and great location for the decals. FS numbers for all paint schemes are also provided. One note – these decals were originally sized for the Classic Airframes kit- thye might need some help in fitting the new Hasegawa kit but looking over the sheet, it shouldn't be too much of a difficulty.

Many thanks to Scott Brown and Afterburner for the review samples. These are recommended for anyone wanting a colorful TA-4J!
