1:72 B-25C Mitchells and A-20A Havocs of

The real subject

The B-25 Mitchell and the A-20 Havoc were American twin-engine combat aircraft of the Second World War. The Mitchell was a medium bomber and became known for its toughness and for its ability to carry heavy armament, while the Havoc was a lighter and faster machine intended for low-level attacks. The B-25C and A-20A versions belong to the early forms of both types, that is to the time when the US Army Air Forces were still working out how to use the two machines.

What the sheet contains

This is a decal sheet in 1:72 scale for both of the named types. Sheets of this kind usually cover several machines at once, so a single package can mark more than one model, or you can pick a single option and keep the rest in reserve. How many machines the sheet covers, which markings it carries and which kits it is cut for are given in the manufacturer's description and in the instructions included.

How the decals are applied

Decals hold best on a smooth gloss surface, so coat the model with a gloss varnish before applying them. Cut the individual markings out close to the edge, so that the carrier film is as small as possible. Check the application procedure and any use of a decal softener in the instructions included by the manufacturer. Once dry, seal the decals with another coat of varnish, this time in the degree of sheen the finished model is to have.
