Model Alliance has produced superb decal
sheet depicting a Spanish Air Force Mirage F.1 and a French Air Force Rafale B
at the NATO Tiger Meet in 2006. The decals are available in both 1/72 scale
MAS-729030 and 1/48 scale MAS-489030. The decals are designed for the following
kits;
Mirage F.1M
1/72 Scale Italeri/Esci, Heller or
Hasegawa kits
1/48 Scale Italeri Kit
Rafale B
1/72 Scale Italeri
1/48 Scale Revell
The decals are superbly printed with
good colour saturation and register. As usual the carrier film is ultra thin
and my experience with Model Alliance in the past has been that the decals have
to be handled carefully and snuggle down into the surface detail well. The
carrier film then almost totally disappears under a coat of clear.
All the data decals are provided as well
as the wing walkways. Jon Freeman has once again done a superb job of the decal
artwork and the instruction sheet artwork
The two schemes provided are as follows
-
Dassault Mirage F.1M

fonc (FS36320 Dark Medium Blue Grey).
