Responsibility details are not available.
A decal sheet in 1:48 scale devoted to a single particular aircraft: the captured Messerschmitt Me 109G-2 with the works number 10605, which in Tunisia was given American markings and the name Irmgard. Captured machines are a rewarding theme among modelers, because they combine an original camouflage with foreign national insignia. There is no model in the package; the decals are applied to a finished kit of the matching version in 1:48 scale.
The G series of the Bf 109 type, also commonly designated Me 109 in period and later material alike, brought the stronger Daimler-Benz DB 605 engine and with it the characteristic fairings over the guns in the nose. The G-2 version was the lighter, unpressurized variant from the early phase of production of the G series. Captured and re-flown machines were given conspicuous markings by their new users, so that their own anti-aircraft defense would not mistake them — it is exactly this combination that makes such aircraft a favorite modeling subject.
The base has to be smooth and glossy. Let a painted model dry through, go over it with gloss varnish and only then apply the decals — on a matte surface air is shut in under the film and the edges go silvery. Cut the motif out closely, soak it briefly in lukewarm water and let it rest a few seconds, until the film releases from the paper. Slide it onto the model, press the water out with a cotton bud from the middle outward and help the decal over engraved lines and rivets with softener. Do not touch a wrinkled film once softener has been laid on; it evens itself out. Then take the whole model back to matte or go over it with satin varnish, so that the glossy intermediate layer cannot be seen.
An accessory to a model. The kit and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
