South African Air Force in East Africa WWII Vol.1 (D72036)

1:72 SBS Model

 

This set is for the Gloster Gladiator and Curtis Mohawk Mk IV used by the SAAF in East Africa during WWII. There are decals for two Mohawks and two Gladiators. There are enough markings on the sheet to build all 4 schemes, 

 

1. Mohawk Mk IV 2522 "Northern Transvaal", 4 Sqn Kenya 1941
2. Mohawk Mk IV 2524, 3 Sqn 1941
3. Gladiator Mk II, N2287 / E, 3 Sqn
4. Gladiator Mk II, N5813 Kenya 1940

 

Conclusion
This is a good sheet with unusual aircraft used in East Africa by the SAAF. The decals look to be in register, colour dense and should pose no problems. Recommended.

Looks just like the set I need for my East African Campaign kits! Thank you for the review!

 

Best Regards,

P.S. I've now ordered it. Now all I need is a P-36/Mohawk kit.
