As these are Antarctic helicopters,
they have a large amount of orange paint on most of them for safety and
visibility. Six of these choppers feature penguin
artwork of some sort and 2 of those helicopters have artwork that features the Antarctic
continent with a chopper over it. And other choppers on this sheet feature national flags
and markings that adds further color to these already colorful paint
schemes.
The 11 helicopters include the
following:
-
Sikorsky H04S-3 from the
icebreaker USS Glacier in 1956.
-
Sikorsky LH-34 operated by VX-6
in 1965 featuring Penguin artwork as well as artwork of the Mad Magazine

Decals has out done themselves on this decal sheet. There is a
great variety of paint schemes from a good selection of countries over a 54 year
time period. This is a great decal sheet and will be of great interest to
helicopter modelers looking for some colorful variety. I love the color
and variety featured on this very unique and interesting decal sheet.
You can buy this and other great
decal sheets directly from Max
Decals.
I'd like to thank Max
Decals for the review
sample.
