Model Maker Decals


O


ne of the latest sheets from
Model Maker Decxals of
Poland available in 1/48 and
1/72 scale covers the Mig-29M (
Modernised) and UBM flown by the
1st aviation Squadron. Over the last
few years this squadron has been
paintings its aircraft with tail and
fuselage art work commemorating
the pilots of 303 Squadron
(Polish) who flew Hurricanes,
Spitfires and finally Mustangs
during the Second World War.
Eachj aircraft has a picture
of the pilot painted in black and
greys on the inside of tail fins plus
a large representation of the 303
squadron badge painted across
the top of the fuselage normally
in grey but one option on this
sheet has this in full colour

The instructions come on six
A4 sheets and leave you in no doubt
where everything goes and what
colours to use. However no stencils are
supplied, but Modelmaker also have
this covered with a separate sheet that
supplies over 280 images to supply
every stencil seen on the airframe!

CONCLUSION
These sheet offers a perfect solution
to building a Mig-29 with a very

attractive scheme though I would
have to build two to show off that
full colour bage and a UM with the
low viz version. Until a few weeks
ago there was a small fly in the
ointment as for both scales you really
need the Polish Mig-29 upgrade
set that Attack Squadron produced
(72100/48050) but this manufacturer
had ceased production of its range.
Fortunately we heard as this issue
went to the press that the mouldings
have been sold on and should be
reissued at some point in the near
future by SBS Models of Hungary
along with the rest of the range..
Our thanks to Model Maker

CONCLUSION
This type of set are very useful to
replace some of the decals in kits
from the far east which tend to be

thicker and more prone to silvering
spoiling the look of your model.
These new additions to the
range Euro Decals are available
now from http://www.fantasyprintshop.
co.uk and our thanks to Ray
Horwell for bringing these
new items to our attention.
