I ordered the 1/72 sheet and they arrived today. Got to say I am very impressed with them. Register looks very
good, colours look spot on (Nice dark blue and solid reds - I was never convinced by Americal's RFC blue). Coloured
wheel hubs supplied as decals - even a flight pennant, which Rowan suggests could be wrapped round a thin wire. He
admits that is pretty much an experiment.
Serials are supplied in two forms - black over white and as separate items for those who like jigsaws, or if
register is out.
There is also an 11 page booklet explaining the details of the sheet, the mods needed to the kits, and a bit about
how the decals are made.
Sufficient roundels for subjects - now to persuade Rowan to do a sheet of roundels!
OK, they were expensive as approx £12, but I think worth it.
More later!!
