A sheet of decals with post-war RAF national markings in the low-visibility red and blue form, 1:72 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
After the Second World War the Royal Air Force moved to low-visibility markings on a number of machines. The roundels were narrowed down to red and blue, that is without the light ring, so that they would not stand out so much on darker finishes. The difference from the wartime colored markings is immediately noticeable on a model and is one of the details by which the period a machine belongs to can be recognized.
The sheet brings national markings and roundels in this low-visibility form in 1:72 scale. Because these are markings that were used across types, it also finds a use in repairs and in making up other sheets. Compare the sizes and their number with what the manufacturer gives on the packaging.
With decal sheets this procedure has proved itself: first clear-coat the place where the decal is to go with a gloss varnish so that no white blotches form under the film. Cut the decal out as close to the print as possible and dip it in lukewarm water for a few seconds. As soon as it releases from the paper, move it into place, blot the excess water away with a paper towel and let it dry. A softener helps settle the decal into pressings and rivets. Finally, go over the whole part with a matte or semi-matte varnish so that the gloss layer under the decal disappears. Before you soak the sheet, check in the instructions that it is not a self-adhesive form; a self-adhesive film that has been soaked is ruined.
The package contains a decal sheet. The kit, paints, varnishes and softener are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
