FirstLook

 

Designed to add variety to the Frrom kit FR0027, this sheet provides decals for three aircraft from the 1950s.

 

 

The decals are glossy printed on a mid-blue background with excellent density and register and minimal carrier film provided as usual in a clear zip-lock bag..As usual, any kit modifications are explained on the single black and white printed A4 instruction sheet, which is in both French and English.

 

 

A warning that came with the sheets from Frrom owner Giles Fontaine concerns the rather crowded sheet that requires some care in cutting out the required decals, so be warned!

The four examples covered by the 90 x 60mm sheet are :

  1. SV.4a Nr 878 F-BGGY at St Yan in 1956-57. It is a single-seater so needs the front cockpit to be covered in. In overall cream and the leading edges of all flying surfaces in red to match the decals that provide the decorative markings on the upper wing and nose.

  2. SV.4a coded 22 / 51.S of the French Aeronavale at Khourigha in Morocco in the 1950s. This is a two-seater in overall silver dope apart from black struttery. I suspect there is a small error in the drawing of this aircraft as it should have the cocardes with the anchors since it is a naval craft. These are provided on the sheet but not referred to so must be the ones to be used here,

  3. SV.4c Nr. 591,coded L-P,  ALAT in 1956 in overall green

  4. SV.4a Nr. 258, coded CLN of ALAT at Essey-les Nancy in 1960 also in overall green

In summary, a nice selection of markings to put on your model and, if this is your area of interest they come highly recommended.

Thanks to Azur Frrom for the sample
