FirstLook

 

Xtradecal has just released a range of brand new 1/48 scale decals covering the Avro Anson Mk.I. This will be ideal for the impressive all-new Airfix 1/48 scale Anson released last year, but will be equally relevant to the old Classic Airframes kit.

Today we are examining Part 2.

 

 

Six subjects are offered.

 

A nice selection of interesting colours are markings are included.

Details are as follows:

    1. Avro Anson Mk.I (Early), K6163, of Central Flying School, Royal Air Force, based at RAF Uphaven, UK, 1937.

    2. Avro Anson Mk.I (Early), A4-21, of 22 Squadron, Royal Australian Air Force, based at RAAF Richmond, New South Wales, Australia, 1938 - 1939.

    3. Avro Anson Mk.I (Early), A4-27, of No. 4 Service Flying Training School, Royal Australian Air Force, based at RAAF Geraldton, Western Australia, Australia, 1941.

    4. Avro Anson GR.Mk.I (Early), K6321, '269/Y' of 269 Squadron, Royal Air Force, based at RAF Abbotsinch, Scotland, UK, 1938.

    5. Avro Anson Mk.I, W2034, of Royal Australian Air Force, 1943.

    6. Avro Anson Mk.I, W2090, '6453' of No 1 Air Observer School, Royal Canadian Air Force, based at RCAF Malton, Ontario, Canada, June, 1941.

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

Both side views and upper and lower views are provided for all six subjects

 

 

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

The decals are perfectly printed and feature thin carrier film.

 

 

A slightly smaller second sheet provides additional serials and national markings.

 

 

This release will offer welcome variety for anyone building the new Airfix 1/48 scale Avro Anson Mk.I.
