FOUR OR EIGHT WHEELS?
Modellers with 1/72 BRDMs wanting to reproduce a Polish machine just found that task becoming easier thanks to ToRo Model’s first batch of decals dedicated to the type.
HARD-HITTING HUNCHBACK
Perfect for Zvezda’s newly tooled offering, Tamiya’s recent kit or any version of the ex-Accurate Miniatures 1/48 Il-2 Sturmovik, Foxbot’s aftermarket decals provide national insignia, numerals, nicknames and artwork for eight airframes.
BUBBLE 'BOLTS
Modellers with Trumpeter 1/32 P-47N Thunderbolts may wish to consider Kits-World’s pair of nose-art adorned schemes.
CROSSING FRONTIERS
Mexican firm Decales Global has produced a set of aftermarket markings providing for five of the McDonnell Douglas MD-82 single-aisle airliners flown by American company Frontier Airlines – the first of two operators to use this name.
FINNISH FIGHTERS
SBS Model’s beautifully printed decals offer four Finnish options for those making a 1/48 scale Fokker D.XXI fighter, with a choice of wheel- or ski-type landing gear and two camouflage versions.
WOODEN WONDERS
The Mosquito is a popular subject in both kit and decal forms and this set from ModelMaker supplies markings for five airframes flown by Polish crews as part of 305 (Polish) Squadron during World War Two and includes one machine flown in West Germany in the immediate post-war period.
GERMANS IN THE BALKANS
Star Decals’ fourth collection of German vehicles involved in operations in the Balkans during World War Two focuses on machinery deployed to Greece.
DEUTSCHE DATA
Modellers wanting to depict Luftwaffe Eurofighter Typhoons will find this neat decal sheet from ModelMaker very useful as it supplies sufficient airframe stencils and warning labels for a single one- or two-seat aircraft.
STRIPEY SPOOK
Syhart hasn’t been a company to shy away from replicating complex display/special liveries and arguably raises the bar with this mask and decal combination, which allows the modeller to finish their Hasegawa 1/48 Phantom FGR.2 in 74 Squadron’s striking 1992 tiger-stripe livery.
