--------------------
Although not the newest decal sheet from this manufacturer from Czech Republic, I chose to bring you this decal sheet because it features (besides 2 other Nachtbombers) an upcoming (long awaited) 1/48 scale Heinkel He 177 "Greif" from MPM. The 1/48 scale sheet sells under number 48005 and 1/72 scale under number 72005. Both sheets includes decals for 3 aircraft with complete insignias and swastikas.

 - Junkers Ju 88 A-4/Trop., R4+CK, W.Nr. probably 5664, 2./NJG 2, June 1942, Catania, Sicily

- Junkers Ju 188 A-2, U5+KH, W.Nr. unknown, 1./KG 2, probably end of July 1944, Bron airfield near     Lyon

- Heinkel He 177 A-5, F8+AN, W. Nr. 550077, 2./KG 40 (originaly 5./KG 40), August 1944, Schwabish Hall. This aircraft carries  RLM 70 & 71 on upper surfaces and side and lower surfaces were sprayed with light blue RLM 65 with additional large pale RLM 76 mottles.

The beautiful full color instruction sheet (in both Czech & English) printed on glossy paper features four-side views for each aircraft. This enables you to build an accurate models.

This decal sheet is printed in very high quality and appears in perfect register.

There is several distributors of the OWL Decals: www.squadron.com, www.hannants.co.uk or www.meteorprod.com

See their website : www.owl.cz for all of their other accessories, conversion sets, photoetched antennas or resin radar radomes and night exhausts. I am sure you will find some great stuff for your kits specially if you are into "nightfighters" or "nightbombers".

Great thanks goes to Petr Tomancák for the sample ! More great decals to come soon...
