CAC Wirraway Stencil Decals
1:48 Red Roo Models

Special Hobby's CAC Wirraway kit is about the only game in town at 1:48, and Red Roo, based in Australia have released this stencil set to ensure that those little details that make a model look more realistic are correct in every way. Arriving in a ziplok bag with the instructions acting as backing card, the decals are printed on good quality light blue paper, with the majority printed in black, but with the occasional red one for those more urgent instructions.

Each decal is accompanied by a decal number in a lozenge-shaped surround, which makes them stand out nicely from the sheet. The sheet is broken up into the two fuselage sides, and the wing upper and lower, so they should be pretty easy to find. At the bottom there are a few spares to mistakes or the decal bank, which is always nice. The instructions cover two sides of A4 paper, and have been printed in colour to ease the way. Each decal is pointed out with their corresponding number, making them easy to position on the model.

The decals are well-printed, sharp, in good register and with good colour density on the red. A couple of the red CAUTION markings seem very slightly low compared to their black accompanying text, and if this bothers you, you can cut them loose before wetting and position them yourself later. In all likelihood however, it's unlikely that it will bother anyone, as it is barely noticeable. Carrier film is thin, glossy, and cut closely to each stencil for the most part.

Conclusion
The devil is in the detail, and so is the realism. These accurate stencils will improve the look of any Wirraway model, and are well worth the investment and effort.
