About product

What the sheet is about

Operation Compass was a British offensive in the Western Desert at the turn of 1940 and 1941, after which the fighting in North Africa got fully under way. Kufra is a remote oasis in southeastern Libya that was fought over in early 1941 and that was one of the strongpoints in the desert far from the coastal road. The aircraft used in these operations were marked by sand, sun and improvised maintenance on field strips, so their markings make a rewarding subject for modelers.

What the sheet contains

This is a decal sheet in 1:72 scale for aircraft models. Which particular machines, national insignia and codes the sheet offers, and how many marking options can be built from one sheet, is given in the manufacturer's instructions. The sheet is an accessory to a finished kit and joins it only at the end of the build.

How to apply the decals

First give the area under the decal a gloss coat; on a matte surface silvery patches form under the film. Cut the decal out close to the design and let it soak in lukewarm water until it starts to move on the backing. Slide it onto the moistened spot, squeeze the water out from under it with a soft cloth and let it dry without touching it. A decal softener will help the decal settle into engraved lines and over rivets. If the manufacturer's instructions give a different procedure, follow them.

Who it is for

The sheet will be appreciated by a modeler building equipment of the North African campaign who wants to avoid the markings from the box. The sheet is an accessory to a kit, so count on a kit separately. Paints, varnish and decal softener are not included in the delivery, unless stated otherwise.

Onto a gloss coat, after soaking in lukewarm water. The decal is slid onto the moistened spot, the water is squeezed out and it is left to dry. A decal softener helps it settle into the lines.

It usually comes from a matte base, where air stays trapped under the film. Give the base a gloss coat and apply the matte finish only once the decals have dried.
