Images show both the Eduard EZ masks for the E2-C and the absolutely gorgeous Bingo Decals applied to the Kinetic Hawkeye. The window masks are a godsend with all the compound curved surfaces and rounded corners found here and the decal application using Microscale method was textbook perfection. My aircraft is sporting the VAW 113 markings of the black-tailed CAG bird as based on the USS Abraham Lincoln in 2001. The only disappointment was how much of the markings are covered when the wings are placed in the stowed position. I can't say enough good about the product from this new company. If you think these markings are colorful, take a look at what's coming soon from Bingo: · 48-003 - VAW 115 Liberty Bells and VAW 122 Steeljaws · 48-004 - Coast Guard, NSAWC and VAW 114 Hornet Hogs · 48-005 - VAW 123 "Screwtops" (includes the bird that overflew the Army/Navy football game) Spectacular markings !!

In my earlier review, I requested that Steve at Bingo "keep up the good work"…Obviously, he did! Again many thanks to both Eduard and Bingo Decals for the review samples. Visit their websites: Eduard at www.eduard.cz and Bingo Decals at www.bingodecals.com for these and other products. Both are most highly recommended,
