Continuing with the excellent stencil decals is this set for the 1/48 F-4E. These are for camouflaged aircraft and provide the stencils in batches rather than as individual decals. This allows for faster stencil application and for better alignment of those stencils. This sheet is designed for the Hasegawa kit, but there is no reason it shouldn't fit the ESCI version. The instructions are quite complete and detail what is used for what aircraft types as the E model had both slatted and unslatted wings.

As you can see from the image above, the sheet is the most complete that I've ever seen and includes the 'slime lights' that were added. The printing on the sheet is excellent as these are done by Cartograf in Italy. My experiences with Cartograf decals has been good and they react well to most setting solutions.

This is an outstanding sheet that is perfect for the F-4 Phantatic.
