Iliad have sent us some of their latest releases, one being a welcome reprint of a popular sheet that has been around before, but sold out quickly, plus a brand new sheet in a similar vein/era.  They've taken the opportunity to rearrange and improve on the reprinted sheet, so if you missed out last time, or just like the look of either sheet, now's your chance.

 

Arriving in a ziplok bag, each set has a set of profiles as the cover page, with the decal sheet visible on the flipside so you can readily see what you're buying with the flick of a wrist.  The printing is up to their usual standard, having good registration, colour density and sharpness, with a thin carrier film cropped close to the printed areas.  The instructions are printed next to the profiles, with relevant points marked with arrows, and on the reverse are overhead views with the same arrowed captions.

 

 

Mig-19/J-6 (48005a)

This reprinted sheet contains seven decal options for the original Mig-19 and the Chinese clone of the S variant, the Shenyang J-6 in a number of operators' schemes.  Most of the options are J-6s, with one Mig-19S in a bright red scheme, and there is a wide array of colours that should appeal to many.

Mig-21F-13s (48034

Another seven aircraft, broken down into Migs, license built Avia S-106s and Shenyang J-7s – it was a popular jet amongst Soviet aligned countries.  More interesting countries and liveries as you can see from the reproduction of the profiles below, which you should just about be able to read.
