1:48 Blue Diamond Decals

The Philippines Air Force (PAF) started their aerobatic display team in 1953 flying P-51s. When these aircraft were retired in 1955 the team was stood down, only to be resurrected in 1959 flying the F-86F. These aircraft were fitted with smoke generators. In 1968 the team reformed on the new F-5A. Until now there have been very few stand alone decals for the team let alone in 1:48. These decals have been produced by the aptly named Blue Diamond Decals from Philippine Military Scale Models. The decals are printed on continuous film with the white backgrounds separate. It is recommended that the modeller seal the decals before cutting them out. The printing looks crisp and clear with no registration issues for the colours.

Conclusion

While it maybe a niche area of the modelling market it is welcome to see quality decals being produced of the worlds smaller air arms, and of aerobatic subjects. Recommended.
