Xtradecal X72191 1/72 de Havilland DH 100 Vampire FB.3/5

The decals are supplied in Xtradecal’s usual A5 window envelope. The instructions are nicely produced in colour and clearly indicate markings placement. A brief note regarding the aircraft and its station location is given for each subject. Not surprisingly a list of Xtracolor paint codes is also provided for the colours required. The decals look to be superbly printed and with excellent colour density. The subjects covered by each sheet are listed below:
