Furball Aero Design has sent information about their newest releases, available now from their website:

Hello again Furball Fanatics! It's been a while, but we are back again some brand new decal releases. This time we have our biggest round yet 5 new sets and one reprint. As always, our decals are printed by Cartograf, and the colors are matched to US Federal Standard colors for maximum accuracy.

First up in this new release round, we have our 'F-14 Stencil and Data' set (48-059). This set includes one set of stencils for the Gull Gray over white scheme, as well as a set of stencils for the Tactical Paint Scheme. This set provides enough stencil and data to complete 2 models and retails for $9.99.

Next we have our latest F-14 set, 'VF-111 Sundowners Anthology' (48-060). This mega set has options for 19 VF-111 F-14As, and covers all of the major (and a few minor) schemes flown by the squadron. This set includes an 8.5' x 10' decal page, an 8.5' x 12' decal page, as well as stencil set 48-059. That's 3 sheets of Sundowner awesomeness in one set! Two complete models can be built using this set. Here's a rundown of the Tomcats covered:

Our next offering, 'VX-4 Black Bunny' (48-061) features markings for 2 versions of VX-4's classic gloss black 'Vandy One' F-4J 153783 . What sets this sheet apart from other decal sets depicting this aircraft is that full white service and instructional data stencils are included. This set is sized to fit the 1/48 Zoukei-Mura kit although it should work fine with the Academy or Hasegawa kits. One complete model can be built from this set depicting either the 1969 or the 1972 version  F-4J 153783. This set retails for $19.99
