FirstLook

 

Xtradecal has released a new decal sheet to suit a range of 1/32 scale Messerschmitt Bf 109 E, F, G-6 and G-10 kits.

 

 

Camouflage is varied across the range from early-war shades, swirling Eastern Front patterns, desert colours, plus mid and late-war greys with yellow theatre markings. Oh, and lots of Chevrons too!

Details are as follows:

  • Bf-109E-3 JG 2 Geschwaderkommodore Oberst Gerd von Massow Frankfurst-Redstock 1939;

  • Bf-109E Stab 1A Channel Coast B of B 1940;

  • Bf-109F II/JG54 Gruppen Adjutant Eastern Front 1941;

  • Bf-109F-4 Tropical II/JG3 Gruppenkommodore Hptm Krahl, Sicily 1942 RLM79/68

  • Bf-109G-6 Trop II/JG52 Gruppenkommodore Maj Gerhard Barkhorn, Ukraine 1944;

  • Bf-109G-10 II/JG52 Gruppen Adjutant Uffz Anton Kellmayer, Neubiberg 1945

One full set of crosses is supplied for the unusually marked Bf 109 E-3. The wing crosses are oversized and the fuselage crosses are undersized, so these would have otherwise been difficult to find in the spares box or a generic decal sheet.

Two pairs of swastikas are supplied too - one black with white outline and the second set with a further fine black outline.

 

 

Instructions for the decal sheet are in full colour across one folded double-sided A4 and one A5 sheet. Both side plus upper and lower views are provided for all six aircraft. Stencils are not included.

 

 

Colour notes are supplied, along with model paint callouts for Xtracolor enamels and Xtracrylix acrylics.

The decals are beautifully printed and feature thin carrier film.

This release offers some interesting and colourful options for those building any number of Bf 109 E, F or G kits in 1/32 scale.

Highly Recommended.

Thanks to Hannants for the review sample
