International Flags

Eduard 1:350

 

Quite a few maritime kits these days provide a selection of flags and pennants that are printed on paper.  These can look ok, but generally always have a tired well worn look, like they’ve been left in the sun for a few months. Eduard have now countered this look with the release of this pre-painted steel set, which supersedes the etched brass set previously available. The forty five flags and ten pennants are beautifully painted and will look great either as a coded message from a halyard or two or even on a ship dressed overall, although it would have to be modelled for a calm day as, even though the metal is quite thin I doubt you’d be able to replicate a flapping flag too easily.  To use, just cut the chosen flag from the sheet and wrap it around your favourite rigging material.

 

 

Conclusion

This is a very nice and easy to use set which would add a dash, or even a lot of colour depending on how many you use.
