This is a continuation for things on the Sabre, but this time, it is in a new area called the Tail Code series. These markings are specifically for JASDF Sabres and provides a number of variations of nose codes and serial numbers. As with all the other sheets, the material provided is identical, only the size is different. In this case, I've shown the 1/48 sheet and you can see that in addition to a goodly selection of nose numbers, you also get tail numbers and the yearly prefix. Since '7' is the code letter for the F-86, that is provided after all the serial options. The only difference in this and the 1/32 offering is that the larger scale requires two full sheets to cover the same material.

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.

Thanks to HobbyDecal for the review samples
