n 2016 the Luftwaffe
celebrated its 60th
Anniversary by painting
two Eurofighter Typhoons
in a commemorative scheme
to celebrate the event.
30+74 was quite low viz with
just a white decal added to its
normal scheme. But the second
aircraft 30+68 was painted in
a very attractive scheme using
two shades of blue and white
with the German red, black and
yellow flag colours applied as a
pinstripe along the fuselage.
Both schemes have been
reproduced in 1/72 and 1/48 as
decals but in 1/32 scale the major
markings have been supplied
as laser cut frisket film mask
with decals supplying the smaller
items as well as the pinstripe.

  2. Eurofighter EF20000, 30+74


1/48 SCALE

1/32 SCALE
B32080 EUROFIGHTER “60
YEARS OF THE LUFTWAFFE”
TLG 74
As listed above in 1/72 Scale
but with masks replacing the
larger decals.

CONCLUSION
Two nice schemes for the Typhoon
and I really like the idea of
using masks for the 1/32 scale
models with all the tricky bits
taking care of by the decals.
Our thanks to Model Maker
Decals for supplying these decals
for review and you can see the
full range at http://www.ModelMaker.

Model Art


A


t Telford Model Art
released their latest 1/72
scale sheet and as with
most of their range, they reflect
the Anglo/French nature of
the company we have aircraft
from the French Air Force and
Royal Nav y. This time we have
no less than nine options for
French Air Force Magisters all
in overall silver with various
areas of dayglow orange.
The Royal Navy part of the sheet
covers six Westland Sea Kings
HAS.1s all finished in the overall
RAF Blue Grey colour scheme.
Instructions are in this
manufacturer’s normal black
and white style, and are bilingual
English/French and will need
careful reading as there is a lot
of informative text supplied to
ensure you get your model correct.

Decales Global


T


his month Decales
Global have supplied
us with three of their
latest decal sheets starting
with a Bae 146-200 in the very
attractive 1980 markings of
That Airways, a scheme that I
normally associate with wide
bodies from my plane spotting
days at Heathrow in my youth.
An airline I have never
heard of until now is Tiara

1/144 SCALE
DG14117 Pacific Western 737-200
DG14232 Air California 737-200
DG14541 Air Afrique A-300
DG14790 Cebu Pacific 757-200

DG14882 Flying Colours 757-200
DG14886 Holiday Air 737-200

CONCLUSION
I have mentioned it before but one
thing to note is that these decals t

come with an overall carrier film
and you need to trim the decal from
the carrier sheet close to the printed
image before applying them to your
model. Other than that they work just
like another decal and sit down and
over any detail on the model. So, if

you want something a little different
for your next airliner you can order
this range from http://www.joydecals.com.
We thank Greg Joy for
supplying the review samples.
