Xtradecal has released a new decal sheet perfectly timed for Special Hobby's 1/32 scale Hawker Tempest Mk.V.

 

 

Details are as follows:

  • EJ783 JJ-N Flt/Lt A.H.Baird 274 Sqn Volkel, Holland 194. This aircraft is finished in Medium Sea Grey lower surfaces with Dark Green and Ocean Grey on upper surfaces. Yellow leading edge wing stripes, Sky spinner and rear fuselage band, 18" invasion stripes on top and bottom of the wings and on the bottom of the fuselage.

  • SN330 J5-H 3 Sqn Sqn/Ldr C.H.Macfie RAF Wansdorf Germany 1947/8. Finished in overall High Speed Silver (a painted finish, not bare metal) with green spinner, Night anti-glare strip on the top of the engine cowling and green codes.

  • NV994/D, Armament Practice Station RAF Sylt Germany 1953. Finished in overall High Speed Silver with diagonal Night Black and Yellow TT stripes on the lower surfaces and a red spinner. A very colourful machine!

One full set of standard late-war RAF and one full set of post war national markings are supplied.

 

 

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 three 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 the new Special Hobby 1/32 scale Hawker Tempest Mk.V kit.

Highly Recommended.
