This new decal sheet
from Victory
Models includes
markings for 16 different 1/32 Bf-109s flown by the Swiss Air Force.
I've always had a fascination for
aircraft in the red and white Swiss Air Force markings. This decal sheet
gives you a choice of 14 different BF-109Es and two Bf-109G-6s with the more
complicated camo scheme. Ten of these aircraft have artwork on them and 2 of
them have six point stars (Star of David?) with witches flying brooms paint on
the stars. Another aircraft has a sharks mouth and eyes on the nose.
Others have flowers....one has a lightning bolt.....another a fish....and yet
another a shooting star.

The instructions are
massive and full of fascinating detail about the evolution of the markings and
how Switzerland acquired these aircraft. For instance the Gustav were
acquired in exchange for Switzerland destroying a Bf-110 that landed in neutral
Switzerland during the war. You get one side view of each aircraft as well
as generic top and bottom views of the wings to show markings and stripe
placement. The decals are beautifully
printed on 1 large decal sheet. One complete set of stencils are included on
this decal sheet.
Victory
Models doesn't
release a decal sheet very often.....but when they do it is quite the event in
our hobby and the sheets always sell out fast. Wow.......this is a huge
decal sheet and the subject matter is a winner in my books.
Get it while you can.
