Xtradecal has just released a new 1/48 scale decal set covering the colourful markings of "Blackjack" RAF 2021 Display Eurofighter Typhoon.

Unusually for Xtradecal, markings are for a single aircraft, but wht a scheme!

This aircraft was flown by 29 Squadron RAF based at RAF Coningsby in July 2021.

Instructions for the decal sheet are in full colour across a single folded double-sided A4 and one double-sided A5 sheet.

Both side views are provided for all seven subjects plus three sample upper and lower views.

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

The three decal sheets are perfectly printed and feature thin carrier film.

This release will offer a large splash of colour for anyone building the Revell 1/48 Eurofighter Typhoon kit.

Thanks to Hannants for the review sample
