This is a great
sheet for the 1/32 modeler who like twin wing planes and those from the
First World War. Though the Netherlands was neutral during this
conflict, it managed to acquire quite a few planes from both sides that
wandered into Dutch territory for one reason or another. This particular
sheet covers many of those aircraft. The instructions are particularly
well done with photos of most of the nine planes covered by this set of
sheets. I don't doubt that there are enough insignia to do most of them
as well. However those wishing to portray their planes in the red, white
and blue insignia will have to get those from a different source. Codes
for those planes are provided, but not the insignia, though you could do
them in the earlier markings. Those with an orange rudder will need that
painted on, matching the orange of the decal sheet.
There are Fokker D.VIIs, an F.2B Brisfit, a Sopwith Pup and an Se.5 in the mix. For kits, these are designed for the current and future Wingnut Wings planes, though I see no reason why these would not work with other 1/32 kits of these planes.
The sheets are superbly printed and are a very short production run so if you want one, you need to make your move soon.
