If you haven't visited Spada Decals' website recently, prepared to be blown away by all of the decal subjects they've produced in the last year or so. What's more, the quality is excellent, the price is very reasonable, and the subjects covered provide a terrific alternative to the 'usual' array of decal offerings.

In this set provides the markings for three aircraft:

  • Nieuport 17, serial N1977, Escadrille N124 'Lafayette', Aerodrome de Cachy, France, Jan 1917, as flown by Sgt Robert Soubiran
  • Nieuport 17, serial N1844, Escadrille N124 'Lafayette', Aerodrome de Cachy, France, Oct 1917, as flown by Adj Raoul Lufbery
  • Nieuport 17, Escadrille N124 'Lafayette', Aerodrome de Ham, France, Spring 1917, as flown by Sgt Willis B Haviland

The printing is sharp and nicely registered. The decals are printed on solid decal film, which means you'll have to carefully trim as much clear carrier film from the edges of your decal as practical.

This set is definitely recommended!
