F-15J/DJ JASDF Aggressors

You asked for it and you got it! With all the various JASDF aggressor schemes out there, it would be virtually impossible to represent all of them in decal form. This sheet solves that problem!

Enough markings are provided on this sheet for ANY of the various F-15J as well as DJ aggressor schemes that have flown with the JASDF. Using your references and this decal sheet, you can duplicate any of these wild schemes! Enough markings for one complete jet!”

See my other recent posts about the JMSDF MCH-101 in

Clarification: In the MCH-101 ceremony photo, the priests wear white robes. The standing priest, wearing a hat, left of altar is a guy. The sitting priest, hair in pony-tail, right of altar is a gal.
