This is a very nice sheet that covers French F4U-7/AU-1 Corsairs and Meteor T.7s as well as Royal Navy Meteor T.7s. All but one of the Meteors is basically overall high speed silver with one in black. The Corsairs are all in weathered gloss sea blue. The long time service has somewhat faded and turned the gloss paint fairly matte.

The Corsairs come from several different units. This includes 14F, 57S, 10S, and 12F. Several of these were based in Indochina in the early 1950s. The others were from the early 1960s. These later aircraft did not have the rudder stripes. These stripes need to be painted on for the most part, though the sheet does include the red portion for one aircraft.

The rest of the markings are for two seat Meteors. The French ones are from the early 1950s. Some of these have color on the intake openings, the nose gear door, and the forward portion of the bullet on the fin. The one assigned to EPNR has areas of da-glo on various areas of the airframe.

The Royal Navy ones, for the most part, have yellow fuselage and wing bands. The one from FRU HURN has da-glo markings. The one based at Hal Far on Malta in 1966 is overall black. The decals are nicely printed and ModelArt provides excellent placement instructions with additional information on each option.
