Model Art

O

ne of the things that I

really like about Scale

Modelworld at Telford is the

number of decal manufacturers

producing subjects from their

native countries. Well Model

Art have to cover both French

and English subjects as though

the owner is French has lived

in England for many years.

One of the new sheets released

at Telford in 2017 includes marking

for a selection of Mirage III variants

operated by E.C 00/002 “Cote d’Or”

and Sea Kings from 771 NAS.

CONCLUSION

This new sheet is typical of the range,

with bilingual instruction sheet and

subjects interest you these sheets

can be highly recommended.
