barkhorn Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) The Polish firm Exito Decals (in fact, a decal branch of an established hobby shop) have so far been known from quality 1/72 and 1/48 sets, now they enter the 1/32 decal market with large scale versions of some previous releases. This includes the set entitled “Sexy Spitfires”, which contains markings for three aircraft: - Spitfire LF Mk.Vb (EN921), coded YO-A of No. 401 Sqn RCAF, flown by F/O Jack Sheppard, Redhill / Staplehurst / Biggin Hill, UK, July-October 1943. - Spitfire LF Mk.VIII (MT841), coded U of No. 2 Sqn RIAF, Kohat, British India, spring 1946. - Spitfire LF Mk.IXe (TA864), coded LW-L of No. 318 (Gdanski) Sqn RAF, flown by P/O Zdzisław Uchwat, Risano near Udine, Italy, May-June 1945. The second 1/32 scale release is entitled “Eastern Front Fighters” and covers three different Messerschmitts flown by notable Luftwaffe aces in the East: - Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-7, ‘White 2’, flown by Lt. Heinrich Ehrler of 4./JG 5, Alakurtti, Finland, late April 1942. - Messerschmitt Bf 109 F-4 trop, WNr. 10266, flown by Maj. Gordon Gollob, Kommodore of JG 77, Oktoberfeld, Crimea, Soviet Union, between June 2 and 6, 1942. - Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6, ‘White 10’, flown by Oblt. Robert ‘Bazi’ Weiß, Kapitän of 10./JG 54, northern sector of the Eastern front, USSR, January 1944. The decal sheets are printed by industry leader, Cartograf of Italy, which ensures top printing quality and ease of application. These are complemented by instructions that differ from the plain market standard. What you get are essentially high quality posters with accurate and inspiring illustrations. Each subject is presented on an A4-sized sheet, with large side aircraft profiles printed on the front, and the remaining artwork, reference photos and all necessary information laid out on the rear side. Images below show the instruction sheets for the above mentione Spitfire set: Review of both sets will soon appear here on LSP.

BloorwestSiR Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) I saw the news on this earlier and I'm tempted to get another Spitfire because of it. I'll have to see if I can find one at a reasonable price. Carl Edited October 23, 2020 by BloorwestSiR Typo barkhorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
