Moving on to something a tad more modern are stencil sheets for the F-86 Sabre. As with all aircraft of the 50's, the Sabre was literally covered with data decals, making for a most busy aircraft. Shown is the 1/32 sheet and there are nearly 160 different markings. This includes walk area and engine warning stripes. What is not shown is a smaller additional sheet that has red markings for the flaps, fuel filler points, small warning signs and ejection seat triangles. There is also a yellow Rescue decal provided. The only 1/32 F-86 I can think of is the Hasegawa offering and it should really add a lot to that particular kit. The 1/48 sheet has all the same markings and is equally complete.

For more information on the pros and cons of dry transfers, please visit this review. I should mention that overall, dry transfer decals will provide a superior result as there is no need to clear coat the model and they are quite thin.
