This is a single plane sheet for the specially painted 30th Anniversary of the F-4 that was flown by the 89th TFS. It was painted for the London Air Show at London, Ontario in 1988. This air show used to be one of the premier shows in North America, but ever since the late 1990s has devolved into a warbird show and one that has fallen into the realm of the mundane. This scheme is in the Hill Grey II scheme of FS 36118 over FS 36270 and was kept in immaculate condition. You'll notice the F-15 centerline tank and that the image on the decal placement drawing is an F-4B.
The sheet provides all the special markings needed for the kit. Wing walk and fuselage walk stripes will have to come from another source. As you can see, the sheet itself (shown at actual size) is really quite small and rattles around in the package. It is my opinion that having these tiny sheets is what eventually caused Repliscale to go out of business some ten years or so ago. They are nice decals, so if you can find them, you should pick one up.
