Some may recall that Starfighter has reboxed the very nice Monogram F11C-2 Goshawk kit, which is, aside from the short canopy used on some planes, also makes into a BFC-2.

This sheet covers 20 different aircraft for which research has shown assigned serials and code tie-ins. The inside of the instructions offers color profiles and other information on these airplanes. You have options for VF-1B aboard the Saratoga, VB-2B aboard the Saratoga, and VB-3 aboard the Saratoga. A pair of options are also included for VB-6 which was to deploy aboard Enterprise in 1938 but never boarded with the Goshawk.

With proper choices of wing chevrons, fuselage stripes you can do quite a few planes. There are insignia for six aircraft and you can always locate insignia or paint on stripes/bands to do others. As with all newer Starfighter sets, the decals are superbly printed by Cartograf so you know you are getting the best quality.

Thanks to www.starfighter-decals.com for the review sample.
