Looks like another new company producing decals and these are quite similar to what I've seen from Jon Freeman's work so the quality and the research will be superb.

This particular sheet is for one of the two specially painted display Hawks for 2006. The one on this sheet is for the 85th Anniversary of 4 Flight Training Squadron. The aircraft is painted in the standard black with red, white and blue markings. The decals are for the red and white portion of these markings with the modeler supplying the blue as paint. This is standard Roundel Blue and a complete list of paints is provided so you can match it.

A full color four view is provided along with the decals and includes a complete stencil suite. This sheet is available in both 1/48 and 1/72 scale with the Airfix kit recommended in 1/48 and the Revell kit (which I have to assume is Italeri), in 1/72. The decals look to be on register and an additional red bit is supplied to cover the nose gear doors.
