This latest sheet from Caracal Models is for the recent Valom 1/72 RF-101C. As with the previous 1/72 F-106 sheet, this one is in response to a new kit and I'm pleased to see this one. Over the years that has not really been much of a dedicated decal sheet for this plane. Often times you would find a Voodoo mixed in with other types and while that is fine, there is nothing like having it all in one place.

There are options on the sheet for seven different planes. The first four are in unpainted metal with the nice colorful tails. The other three are for when the planes sported SEA camouflage and tail codes. Note that one is an ANG plane. Several units of the Guard flew the RF-101C, but they differed only by the serial number and the small white state name above the ANG badge on the fin.

Decals are printed by Cartograf so you know they are great. You are provided with sufficient stencils and common markings for one plane, and that includes the large wing walk areas. If you are wondering about these fitting the Hasegawa kit, well I do not know, but as always, they are worth a try.
