Rowan takes a look at the latest set of decals for the F-100D Super Sabre from Euro Decals.

Ray Horwell at Fantasy Printshop has added a fourth set of decals for spectacular Super Sabres to his Euro Decals range.

The set arrives in a zip-lock bag (much safer for decals than resealable adhesive packs) and are accompanied by colour-printed A4 instructions.

The decals are spread over two sheets, with the individual aircraft markings on one, and generic USAF and stencil markings on a separate sheet. As usual with Ray's work, the decals are flawlessly printed, with the glossy items featuring pin-sharp register and crystal clear carrier film. The carrier film is trimmed tightly around designs unless it's used to group multiple elements. A really nice touch is the inclusion of spare patches of colour in case you need to cover any gaps when the main tail markings are applied.

This time a trio of colourful "Huns" are featured:

1. F-100D s/n 55-2950, 81st Tactical Fighter Squadron, 50th Tactical Fighter Wing, USAF, Toul-Rosieres AFB, France, 1958

1. F-100D s/n 55-2950, 81st Tactical Fighter Squadron, 50th Tactical Fighter Wing, USAF, Toul-Rosieres AFB, France, 1958

2. F-100D s/n 56-3417, 356th Tactical Fighter Squadron, 354th Tactical Fighter Wing, USAF, Aviano AFB, Italy, 1960

2. F-100D s/n 56-3417, 356th Tactical Fighter Squadron, 354th Tactical Fighter Wing, USAF, Aviano AFB, Italy, 1960

3. F-100D s/n 56-3020, 390th Fighter Bomber Squadron, 366th Fighter Bomber Wing, USAF, England AFB, USA, 1957-59

3. F-100D s/n 56-3020, 390th Fighter Bomber Squadron, 366th Fighter Bomber Wing, USAF, England AFB, USA, 1957-59

The schemes are illustrated with full colour profile and plan views, and matches for Humbrol, Xtracolour, Xtracrlix and Lifecolor paints are included.

All the chosen aircraft are guaranteed head-turners, so they'd look amazing as a trio if you've got sufficient shelf-space. Alternatively, they'd make a great shared project for a club-build. With this in mind, although the set only includes generic markings for single aircraft, they are now available separately from Fantasy Printshop to allow you to complete all three subjects if you wish.

Conclusion

Whether it's in real life or model form, the Super Sabre's big tail fin simply invites spectacular markings, and this fourth set of decals from Euro Decals certainly doesn't disappoint.

Item #ED 32134 is available now from Fantasy Printshop - Price: £36.95
