Even as bored as I am with the blue ones I think that box art is stunning.

Hi all,

 

Would anybody have a photo of the new re-release's decal sheet?  I've tried looking online (including the Airfix site and Workbench), but no luck.  I'm wanting to see the proportions of the RAN roundels as included on the sheet... have Airfix made all six the same diameter, or are the two fuselage ones smaller? 

 

Thanks in advance!

Gawd... I searched half a dozen other websites/reviews before I posted here; I should've just stuck closer to home.  🙄

 

Thanks for the reply Mike!

I've been Googling stuff for my Airfix Sea King build lately, and most times I see a decent pic, and end up back on Britmodeller's Walkaround section    I can't be too hard on you now, can I?
