--------------------

The fact that Rising Decals from Czech Republic dealing mainly with an Axis subjects proves even their newest decal sheet. Deutsche Uber Der Wuste (Germany Above The Desert) is available now in 1/72 scale under No. 72-014.

This sheet offers options for 6 aircraft.

1. Messerschmitt Bf-109 E-7 trop. S9+CS from III./ZG 1, Libya 1942.

2. Messerschmitt Bf-109 E-7 trop. S9+DR from same unit but an very interesting machine indeed with replacement starboard wing retaining classic European splinter camo of RLM 02/71 colors. This one should be a very interesting subject to see at shows.

3. Messerschmitt Bf-109 F-4 trop. "White <", W.Nr. 8665 flown by Hptm. Karl-Heinz Krahl, Kommandeur of II./JG 3, April 1942, San Pietro, Sicily.

4. Messerschmitt Bf-110 E. 3U+KS from 8./ZG26 used for long range maritime escorts along the North African Coast.

5. Messerschmitt Bf-110 C-6 trop. 3U+XS also from 8./ZG26 this aircraft was armed with 30 mm cannon.

6. Focke Wulf Fw-190 A-4 trop. "White 1+E", W.Nr. 0145 614 from Erprobungskommando 19, Libya, November 1942.

Decal instructions are in English and done in color. They clearly show decal placements, suggested camouflage colors (Gunze C range) and also list all the used references.

The decal sheet itself is printed in high quality with all the unit insignias being very crisp and clear in perfect register. All national insignias and swastikas are included. Decals were printed by Aviprint.

In the West part of our hemisphere you can contact following suppliers : www.hannants.co.uk and www.flightdecs.ca or directly at www.risingdecals.com . All should have them in stock.

Thanks goes again to Mirek Karnik for supplied samples! Great job!
