Perhaps stimulated by the release of Italeri’s Stirling, the code and serial options covered by the four sets of decals reviewed here are of course handy form many WW2 RAF bomber subjects where a departure from the kit markings is planned.

 

 

The first set, X72126, consists of one sheet featuring red 8" serial letters and numbers in stencil and non-stencil styles; and 48" x 30" x 6" code numbers.

 

 

The other three sets each contain one sheet each covering most red code permutations across the three sets:

  • X72210 – 48” x 24” x 6”

  • X72211 – 48” x 30” x 6”

  • X72212 – 36” x 6” & 4.5”

 

 

All sets come supplied in Xtradecal’s usual polythene zip-lock bag. The decals look to be superbly printed and with excellent colour density.

Thanks to Hannants for this sample.
