British Royal Artillery in Italy Star Decals
Set #72-A 1094

This is a brilliant set. A couple of neat color schemes for the Priest, other than simple olive drab. And colorful markings as well. We even get a bonus, non-Sherman vehicle: an M3A1 halftrack. Unfortunately, the three marking schemes for the Priest duplicate those schemes that come in the UM M7 Priest kit. The printing quality of these Star Decals is to a higher standard than UM's, but it would have been nice to have some different schemes.
