This was a popular sheet so has been reprinted. It is for the AMT 1/48 ES-3A Sea Shadow, a kit that was not produced by ESCI so don't go looking for it in that box. Though it has been out of production for about a decade, it is still relatively easy to locate at swap meets and shows.

The aircraft is in overall 36375 with 36237 canopy trim and a 36251 dome antenna and black wingtip pods. The fin has to be painted yellow prior to the application of the fin decal. These markings are for the last ES-3A, an aircraft that was operational only for about 8 years before the program was cancelled due to lack of enemies.

There is an addendum sheet not shown to replace the filled in insignia shown on the regular sheet.
