PROLOGUE:
A
little over a year back, fellow modeller Khairul Effendy and myself were
discussing about coming up with markings for our models of the Royal Malaysian
Air Force F/A-18D Hornet.
Lots
of ideas were mulled over. Anyway, to cut a long story short, what was
originally a modelling project snowballed into this decal sheet.
COMPANY
& PRODUCT INFORMATION
F-4DableModels
is a new decal company start-up, located in Malaysia. Our first releases are
decals for the:
1)
TUDM McAir F/A-18D Hornet in 1/48 scale
2)
TUDM McAir F/A-18D Hornet in 1/72 scale
Both
decal sheets feature the unique Gunship Grey painted F/A-18D Hornets of the
Tentera Udara Diraja Malaysia (Malay language for the Royal Malaysian Air
Force).
Some
technical problems cropped up shortly after the initial release, necessitating
the printing of a correction sheet. The correction sheet for each scale is also
included. The corrections largely center around the fact that the original font
used for the digit ‘5’ was incorrect, and the nose modex numbers were too
large.
Some
points of note about this decal sheet:
·
Includes both
versions of Malaysian roundel seen on the aircraft
·
Includes tail numbers
and nose modex numbers for all eight aircraft in service
·
Includes a set of
generic F/A-18 stencil data in black
·
Detailed instructions
with some tips on modelling the F/A-18D in Malaysian service
·
Printed by Cartograf
of Italy
·
Limited to only 500
sheets each
The
1/48 and 1/72 decal sheets will be available separately. The prices are
US$9.00 and US$6.00 for the 1/48 and 1/72 sheet respectively. |
