Yellow Wing Decals has pushed out of their niche of 1/48 scale
pre-war US Navy/USMC subjects. They've expanded into 1/32 and 1/72
scales and with this release, provide the various sized national
markings for the range of between-the-wars US military aircraft.
This set provides roundels in 40", 42", 46", 52", 55", and 60"
sizes. There are 8-10 roundels provided in each size.
The instructions provide the proper size markings to use with
each aircraft type. These include the PBY Catalina, SB2U Vindicator,
TBD Devastator, SBD Dauntless, F2A Buffalo, F3F, and SBC Helldiver.
What is nice about these decals is all three
colors are printed together, not separately as other decal manufacturers
are starting to do. This results in a smooth, thin marking rather
than the mound of decal film that results from applying decal layers
atop one another.
Yellow Wing Decals can be purchased directly from their website
at www.yellow-wingsdecals.com.
Highly recommended!
My sincere thanks to Yellow Wing Decals
for this review sample!
