Designed for the Hasegawa kit, this sheet contains the markings for four F6F night-fighters. The -5 versions are all in gloss sea blue while the -3 aircraft is in the tri-color scheme. I'm not sure how available the Hasegawa kit is, but they can be found with a little looking.

First up is a -5N based with VMF(N)-541 in Ulithi atoll in mid 1945. This one is a bit unusual for USMC planes as it carries nose art. This has been finely reproduced on a small sheet. One simply applies the white background first, then the art work.

Next is 'Black Death' a -5N based on Okinawa in mid 1945. This aircraft has barrel extensions to the wing guns.

From VMF-511 aboard the USS Block Island is this third -5N. This one is named 'Butch'.

Finally, the lone -3N which was with VMF(N)-534 based on Orote Airfield in Guam during late 1944.

There are insignia for all four options and this includes the portions of the insignia that overlap the radome.
