This new
1/72 decal sheet (also available in 1/48) from Model Alliance Group from
their Premier Plus Range Decals focuses on a special Sea Harrier FA2 in
25 anniversary markings for 899 NAS. There
are
decals for one special Sea Harrier.
The decals
themselves are beautiful quality and very clearly printed on the 1/48
sample I have before me (the scan above does not show the the sharpness
of these decals). Colours look solid and will cover very well, but
the decals also don't appear overly thick and complicated decals are
printed in multiple layers to ensure perfect registration. Clear film is minimal and tapers
down nicely to the edge of the decal.
The paint scheme
is Roundel Blue on top and white on the underside
with the usual natural metal shades around the engine exhausts and
tail. The nose cone is grey.
|
The focal point of the markings is
the tail artwork which is a white fist with wings and the yellow text
"25 Years" and the white text "ROYAL NAVY". The
more complicated decals...such as the roundels are multi-part decals to
ensure perfect registration.
The instruction sheets include helpful text describing how to
paint the cockpit and with what colours. All
necessary information about painting is included as well as FS Federal Standard
numbers, Humbrol, Lifecolour, Gunze and Xtracolour.

These decals are very well done,
and it's good to see this Sea Harrier in decal form. Special thanks to Model Alliance for sending me this review
sample. You can purchase these decals direct from Model Alliance.
