I am sure you have seen the exotic looking scheme on the El Salvadoran F4Us from the 1969 football war. I am looking for two things, the first is a three view of the scheme and the second does any one make decals for El Salvador FAS. I am going in both 1/48 and 1/72. TIA

Hi John
I remember LF Models had released some El Salvador decals not so long ago

Not sure if they are from the soccer war period. Same decals, but one was released in 1/72 and the other in 1/48.

Hope this helps

Hi John,
I don't know if this helps but a kit maker called "Hobby Craft" had a Salvadorian Corsair release out a while ago in 1/48. It wasn't much more expensive than buying a decal sheet . I thought their decals were pretty good.
Good Luck in your quest and have a good weekend ! Tom
