Reviewed by Brett Green
Red Roo Models has released three new
decal sheets under the general heading of "Odds and Sods".
The first two provide a single full set of
stencils for RAAF Spitfire Vc in 1/72 and 1/48 scale. Options are supplied
for early and late stencils in a number of cases. A double sided A4 sheet
clearly points out the location of all these markings using four-view line
drawings.
The third release includes 54 Commonwealth
Aircraft Corporation "Speedbird" logos in 1/72 scale. These
logos were seen on the fin or fuselage of many of the aircraft
manufactured by CAC. However, I confess that I don't know if anyone would
ever use 54 of these little logos! It might have been a more effective use
of the space to include 1/48 scale logos as well.
The carrier film of these decals is not
separated into individual items, so they will have to be carefully cut
out. Red Roo Decals are thin and do require
some care (and a wet plastic surface) in application, but the results are
always impressive.
Recommended.
Thanks to Red Roo Models for the review sample.
