Note:

Adding to their growing collection of Canadair Fire Bomber schemes, we have what I believe is the first sheet for the CL-415. This one is for the Italian examples and provides you with serials and code numbers to do any of the aircraft in the fleet. One simply substitutes the last letter of the registration to match the aircraft number.

As usual, this sheet is quite complete and offer an excellent set of instructions that shows a few of the possible modifications that can be done; like a radar nose on some examples. This sheet is, of course, designed for the Heller kit, which may have also been released by Airfix, but I'm not positive on that. Kit availability may be spotty since Heller went into receivership a year or so back, but it is not impossible to locate.

As always, the decals are crisply printed and without any registration problems. A superb sheet that I know you will enjoy using.
