Scale aviation modeller international

Xtradecal

A

n interesting

selection of

schemes this

month from Xtradecal

with sheets in all major

scales for the two seat

Messerschmitt Me-

262 which includes a

number of examples

retained by the allies

for testing post-war.

The next two sheets

are in 1/48th scale and

are aimed at the release

of the Hawker Hunter

by Airfix in November,

though it you are

impatient you could always use the

Academy kit despite its inaccuracies.

The Revell Tornado F.3 in 1/48 scale

has been well received and now

we have a further eight options for

all of the operating squadrons.

Finally, in 1/72 scale we have

a sheet that supplies markings

celebrating 100 years of 15 squadron.

This sheet supplies marking for

five different aircraft types used

by the squadron starting with the

Bristol Scout and ending with the

Panavia Tornado Gr.4. If you were

to build all of the options even in

1/72 scale you would need some

shelf space as it includes markings

for both a Stirling and a Lancaster.

CONCLUSION

As always, these sheets are well

printed and in perfect register and the

instructions supply all you need to

know to position the decals correctly.

I will be laying the Hunter sheets

down for the Airfix kit as I plan on

building at least two or three and have

already sold on my Academy kits

as well as the Aeroclub corrections

in anticipation of its release.

Our thanks to Hannants for

supplying the review samples

which can be purchased online or at

either of their two shops in Oulton

Broad, Suffolk or in London next

to the RAF Museum at Colindale.
