Series Espanolas Decals

I

t has been awhile

since we had

anything new from

this manufacturer who

specialises in producing

sheets covering the

aircraft used by the

Spanish Air Forces.

There latest sheet covers

the EF-18As Hornets

being used as Aggressor

aircraft for the Spanish

Forces in 1/32 scale.

All the six options are

EX US Navy examples from

squadrons operating in a

similar role, and carry the

same scheme as they did

with the US Navy. Either

a Desert camouflage in

browns and sand or a

scheme using blues and greys.

All the options have the original

US Navy markings overpainted

in some form or other.

The only addition is the

Spanish national markings,

unit insignia, and serials.

All text is in Spanish but using

Google translate it is quite easy to

understand what they say. Colour

notations use FS colours and

though no specific paint range is

recommended I would suggest

that the new Mr Paints range

from Slovakia may be the way

to go as they offer the unusual

tones used on US Aggressor

schemes without mixing.

CONCLUSION

I have always liked Aggressor

squadrons and this sheet adds

a bit of a spin to the normal US

Markings. Perfect for the Academy

kit if you have one in your stash.
