About product

DK Decals 1:72 decal sheet — the machines of No. 450 Squadron RAAF

A sheet of decals in 1:72 scale from the Czech maker DK Decals. It is not a kit and not a set of parts: these are printed decals with which you mark a model you have already built. The sheet covers the machines of the Australian No. 450 Squadron, specifically the Hurricane, Kittyhawk, Mustang and the light Auster. One sheet therefore covers several different types, which suits a modeler building a whole unit rather than a single machine.

The real subject

No. 450 Squadron of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) was formed in 1941 and saw action in North Africa, in the Mediterranean and later in Italy within the Desert Air Force. It flew Hurricanes briefly, but the core of its combat work was the Curtiss Kittyhawk fighter-bomber used against ground targets, and toward the end of the war the Mustang. Light Austers were used by units of that formation for liaison and observation duties. Desert Air Force camouflage was sand and brown-green, with a light undersurface.

Application tips

Decals belong on a gloss surface — a matte clear coat has a microscopic structure that traps air beneath it, and a silvery veil forms around the decal. So coat the area with gloss clear first, cut the decal out as close to the artwork as you can and soak it in lukewarm water for a few seconds. Once it is transferred to the model, blot the excess water away, line the position up and use a decal softener so that the decal is drawn into the engraved lines. Finally seal the whole thing with clear in the degree of sheen you want.

Who the sheet is for

  • those interested in Commonwealth air forces in North Africa and Italy
  • builders of models in 1:72 scale who want markings beyond the box standard
  • modelers building a collection of the machines of one unit
  • those looking for decals for several types on one sheet

This is an accessory for a model. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is not. This is a decal sheet only. The model, paints and glue are bought separately.

The sheet covers several aircraft types used by this squadron, specifically the Hurricane, Kittyhawk, Mustang and Auster. The exact number of schemes is given in the instructions supplied with the sheet.

Under a matte clear coat, air is trapped in its structure and a silvery edge forms around the decal. On a gloss surface the decal settles completely, and the matte clear can be applied last.
