DP Casper 48010 Left Hook May 2000

DP Casper's Left Hook May 2000 decals feature markings for aircraft that participated in the military conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea from May 12,2000 to June 19, 2000. Both sides used primarily Russian aircraft. The decals include complete placement and painting instructions (all color call outs are referenced to Humbrol paints) along with a brief history of the aerial operations during the conflict. The subjects covered are (by nationality):

The decals are in perfect registration and have excellent color density. I like decals like this that offer multiple different subjects on the same sheet. I've used decals from this manufacturer in the past and can confirm that they are user friendly and perform very well. I recommend these decals to anyone with an interest in small air forces and lesser known military conflicts.
