Caracal Models has provided a most welcome set, this one for the SH-2F Sea Sprite. Thought designed for the Kitty Hawk kit, those of us who have the Revell/Matchbox kit will undoubtedly find these usable, especially after so many years of nothing. Pretty much every operational unit that has flown the SH-2F save HSL-37 is represented on this sheet. This includes the two reserve units. All of these markings options are from around the 1980s and all of them are in overall Engine Grey FS 16081 with yellow rear fuselage bands and red/yellow striped horizontal stabilizers.

It was fairly common for those aircraft deployed to have some sort of artwork on the sonobouy doors and this set includes four of them so marked; and three of them named. The options provided are listed below.

The set includes enough common markings and data markings for one aircraft. You can use kit markings if you want to do more than one. As with all Caracal Models sheets, this one is printed by Cartograf and includes a full color painting and markings booklet. I have darkened the decal image quite a bit so you can see the white bits. I anticipate a lot of helo fans snapping this one up.
