Here's another old Tasman sheet. This one is mostly USN but with an exception.

First up there is a FJ-3M from VF-191. Gull grey and white for the colors and to build this, you'll need one of the Falcon triple conversion sets and a Fujimi Sabre to do this one..

The next two are overall unpainted metal F7U-3 Cutlasses. These are for VF-124 and VC-3, though really, both units are included in the Testors boxing of the Fujimi kit if you happen to have that kit.

The final one is from 3 Sq RAAF with what was then a new plane, the F-18A Hornet. Colors are more like the Canadian Hornet than the USN versions. Probably want to go with Hasegawa on the Hornet kit.

Decals are, well, not that well printed. They are OK, but by today's standards they are mediocre. There are two of the  large lower sheet, probably to supply enough Cutlass fin bands and fuselage walk areas.

Thought you might like to know what was done.
