This set (48-003A) has markings for four McDonnell Douglas MD-530 helicopters of the
Mexican Air Force and Mexican Navy. (You’ll recall that the MD-530 is the outgrowth of
the Hughes 500/OH-6A Cayuse). The six-page guide enclosed has nice marking guides, an
operational history of the MD-530 in Mexican service and close-up photos of the subject
aircraft. Unlike the two offerings above, this guide is printed in Spanish only. What is
really interesting about this sheet are the stencils to represent the sliding windows inset
in the aircraft doors on certain aircraft.
Conclusion

My sincere thanks to Aztec Modeling
