1/72 RAF ISTAR decal sheet

1/72 Sheet No. MA-72162 £12.50 

Review by Steve Bamford on June 19 2009

 

This new decal sheet from Model Alliance Group features markings for 14 different aircraft that include the following.
  • 2 different Nimrod R.1, RAF
  • 7 different Boeing E-3D Sentry AEW.1, RAF, including full stencil set and all Squadron markings plus the RAF Anniversary tail markings.
  • 5 different Bombardier Sentinel R.1, RAF

The 10 page colour instruction booklet is straight forward and also includes 4 views of the aircraft on this decal sheet to assist in decal placement and painting.

The decals themselves are flawlessly printed and very clearly printed on the 1/72 samples I have before me and are contained on 2 decal sheets.  Colours look solid and should cover very well, but the decals appear thin and of a very high quality.   

The Boeing E-3D Sentry with the RAF Anniversary tail markings is without a doubt the aircraft I would build on this decal sheet.  It is a treat to see these high quality decals available for these RAF ISTAR aircraft.

You can order these decals direct from aviation-workshop@btconnect.com   Contact them for prices and ordering information.
