MSRP: $11.99 Website: www.mawdecals.com Designed for the Dragon/Panda UH-1N, this latest sheet from MAW decals is in keeping with their tradition of providing excellent value for the money. Printed by Cartograph these decals are thin and opaque. You get the option for three separate UH-1Ns, all of them in a two-tone grey scheme. Two Hueys are from HML/A-167 "The Warriors" and one from HMM-263 (Rein) "The Thunderchickens". The instructions are printed on four sides of high quality paper in full color. They are slightly confusing with option 3 being marked as option 2 too, but if you are paying attention there shouldn't be a big issue. The easy way to tell is by the sliding door number. Each helicopter marking option is presented with four view drawings. The drawings are really nice and option 3 is on a single page so you could hang it up in your model room. Some of the nicest part of these decals is the inclusion of the formation "slime" lights. All the decals are in perfect register not that it really matters as most of them are single colors, but where they aren't they are perfect. Decal manufacturers have long overlooked helicopters but thanks to companies such as MAW we modelers are now able to mark our favorite models. Thin and opaque, perfect register, multiple subjects and excellent instructions, what more can you ask for from a decal sheet? This is another high quality product from MAW. Highly recommended Thanks to MAW-Decals for the review copy. You can obtain your copy by contacting them at www.mawdecals.com and let them know IPMS/USA sent you. MAW operates out of Camp LeJuene, North Carolina so you know they know Marines and the aircraft they fly.
