This sheet from Xtradecal is well timed, with the Trumpeter F-100C kit having been recently released. This is the first in a number of sheets covering various variants of the F-100, with this one covering the F-100A/C. The airframes covered are as follows:-

- The sheet is well printed with everything in register, the decal film itself is thin and there is very little overlap of film.
The instructions are printed in color and comprise left and right views (where needed) together with upper surface diagrams, color details and additional references. Decal film is quite thin and register is spot on.
