Japanese Hinomaru (Meatball) Insignia with white outline

Decal Set #: JP-103 Preview by Al Magnus - one72guy(at)hotmail(dot)com

This set is marketed for 1/285 - 1/600 aircraft.

There are two small sheets in a package, each being approximately 89mm long by 47mm wide. Both sheets are identical containing the same Japanese Hinomaru insignia with a white outline in various sizes.

The printing appears to be excellent with nice opaque looking inks. Each image is printed on a separate piece of very thin clear transfer material as opposed to being printed on a continuous clear sheet. I'm not sure to what extent the Japanese Army marked their vehicles with Hinomaru but there may be some use for these for AFV markings.

Thanks to Dave Winfree of Decal Details for this review sample.
