In a few reviews, I saw decal sheets that looked like this plus a decal sheet with the squadron codes etc. and the stencils. Two sheets in one kit? I for one ...

Matt's Models and Comment. Friday, May 15, 2015. Eduard P-400 Airacobra (#8471 “Weekend” Edition). I love that title – weekend indeed. Well, if I had 7 day weekends that would work. I am sure some of you are not as plodding as I am. As you all know, it means you get the sprues and decals for one model. The Cactus Air Force referred to the air group that occupied Henderson Field on Guadalcanal in 1942. Eventually, it sported Marine, Navy and Army Air Forces aircraft.

The Mechanics Modelling World: June 2015
http://themechanicsmodellingworld.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
My Blog for updating progress on current "Work In Progress" modelling projects, general news and chat. Sunday, 28 June 2015. I now had this dilemma whether to use the resin replacement exhausts or the kit ones. After a bit of toing and throwing, I opted to fit the kit ones. I did not think the model would be good enough to use the resin ones on, so they will be saved to use on another Eagle for which I will add a resin cockpit and etched details. The Mechanic AKA.
