Package Includes;

  • Professionally printed, high quality, screen print water slide decals

  • Enough markings for one model

  • CAF compliant stencil and warning markings

  • Decals for the yellow-gold 'splash'

  • Tail rotor stripes and engine exhaust markings

  • Crash Position Indicator (CPI) label decal

Note: This aircraft was painted overall grey FS26173 - Tamiya XF-53 'Neutral Grey' is a close match. The “splash” was painted with a yellow-gold that included extremely fine metallic-gold flake. For this decal set the solid base colour of yellow-gold is matched to the look of the aircraft as seen from a short distance as well as in photos. Suggested mix to match the decals is Humbrol #46 + about 20% Model Master 'Chrome Yellow' enamels. You may wish to adjust the mix or try other colour combinations to suit your personal build.

Canadian service CH-124 Seaking's are fitted with short sponsons, a large dorsal RADAR dome, CPI, and forward IR Camera. For 1:48 scale modellers using a current Hasegawa kit, you may wish to visit the website of another fine Canadian model company, www.belcherbits.com for resin conversion parts.

This is an exxciting sheet and will gives you the ability to add of of the most exciting RCAF Seakings to your display case.

This decal sheet is also available in 1/48. 

I would like to thank Canuck Model Products for providing me with this product sample.
