This next new sheet covers a trio of very nice CAG and special paint helicopter subjects, something we rarely see from decal sheets. This particular sheet is designed for the Italeri 1/48 SH-60B. An F model can be made by using the Cobra Company conversion set. All of the helos on the sheet are in the usual greys scheme. Note that the exhaust areas are all painted black.

First is the black-tailed SH-60B CAG bird from HSL-41 (which, if I recall, is the training squadron).

Next with the insignia blue tail is the SH-60F of HS-14 in a most striking motif.

Finally with more color than I've seen on a helo in years, is the SH-60B of HSL-49.

The decals are superbly printed and many are two parters to prevent registration problems. There are enough data markings and insignia to allow two of the options to be built from what is on the sheet.
