1:32 Iliad Design Decals

This is the first decal set in 1:32 scale from Iliad Design of Canada and is obviously based on their now sold out 1:48 set. The decals are all for Bf-109G-6/R6 Trop aircraft of 7./JG 53 which were based in Sicily in 1943. The design and printing is superb, the strong vivid colours showing up well, in register and on ultra thin carrier film. The sheet contains the cartoon decals for six aircraft, six Ace of Spades crests, but only enough Balkenkreuz for one aircraft and a curiously number of swastikas, (nine), plus six 1’s to finish of the id codes. The accompanying instructions are very clear, comprehensive with useful detail notes explaining the painting and other info.

Conclusion
This is the first decal set that I’ve come across from Iliad Design and I have to say they are superb. Being so thin I’m not sure how easy they are to use but they should settle down very well onto a gloss surface. So if you fancy a colourful 1:32 Bf-109 then this is the set for you. Very highly recommended
