1:144 Royal Thai AF Insignia - 2 sets

1:144 Royal Thai AF Insignia from Mark I

Decals with the national insignia of the Royal Thai Air Force, printed for the 1:144 size. The customer gets a purely decorative accessory: no plastic and no resin parts, no aircraft. The sheet comes into its own at the moment when a model is built, sprayed and ready for its final markings. The qualifier 2 sets comes from the name of the item, but in itself it does not describe the contents of the sheet.

Why reach for Thai markings

The Royal Thai Air Force is among the Asian air arms with a long and varied history, and its machines tend to be represented markedly less in the modeling range than American or European ones. The national insignia work with the colors of the Thai state flag and on a small model they form a striking accent of color. Anyone building a whole display case of one type of aircraft in various services will add in this way a shape not found in the ordinary boxes.

What it is worth preparing

Before applying them, get ready a dish of lukewarm water, tweezers with smooth jaws, cotton swabs and a soft pad under the model. The motifs of this scale are thin, so never pull them off the paper dry. Once seated and the water drawn off, let the decal become tacky undisturbed; only then can you coat it with a protective clear that will hide the edges of the film.

Who the set is of interest to

• for a focus on Asian air forces
• for collections of one type in many services
• for modelers looking for strikingly colorful markings
• for completing kits without a Thai variant
