--------------------

For a very long time it's been hard to find decals for the AV-8B.  This doesn't mean folks weren't interested in Harrier decals, just that finding decals was impossible since the Superscale decals of long ago.  But now the Two Bobs have answered our call with piles of Harrier markings on one sheet.

Included in this decal sheet are 2 pages of decals.

The main decal sheet contains markings for 6 different AV-8B's.  Included on both decal sheets are stencils and slime lights for 4 of the 6 aircraft included on this decal sheet. 

Decal option #1 is for plane #01 from VMA-231.  This is the squadron that uses the Ace Of Spades playing card as a Squadron Emblem.  This particular plane is a AV-8B Super Harrier. 

Decal option #2 is for plane #07 from VMA-231.  This is the squadron that uses the Ace Of Spades playing card as a Squadron Emblem.  This particular plane is a AV-8B Night Attack Harrier. 

Decal option #3 is for plane #50 from VMA-231/HMM264.  This particular plane has a Knight chess piece as a Squadron Emblem.  This particular plane is a AV-8B Harrier  and has markings and was flown with Operation Joint Endevour Implemention Force (IFOR) in 1996.

 

Decal option #4 is for plane #02 from VMA-223.  This particular plane has a boxing bulldog with Angel wings as a Squadron Emblem.  This particular plane is a AV-8B Super Harrier.  

Decal option #5 is for plane #04 from VMA-223.  This particular plane has a boxing bulldog with Angel wings as a Squadron Emblem.  This particular plane is a AV-8B Super Harrier. 

Decal option #6 is for plane #01 from VMA-542.  This particular plane has no visible  Squadron Emblem on this plane.  This particular plane is a AV-8B Super Harrier.  

 

The paint scheme for these 6 Harriers is basically the same 3 tone grey.  Below you will find the 4 pages of the instruction sheets.  The instruction sheets are clear and well laid out with good images showing the placement of all the tiny stencil decals.  

The decal printing is typical high quality and is in perfect register that we have come to appreciate from Two Bobs Aviation Graphics.  A very attractive and much appreciated decal sheet for all the 1/72 USMC Harrier fans....of which I consider myself.

This sheet is available through http://www.twobobs.net/ and select US Hobby Shops.  Overseas customers can purchase these from Twobobs site or through Twobobs network of overseas distributors.  Remember, shipping is always FREE to US Customers at Twobobs!!
