Start 1/48 Unit Badges #1

To go along with their new book on unit badges, Start has developed a decal sheet that has thirteen options from the book. The fold out design of the instruction sheet is such that I cannot easily show all 13, but since the placement markings are only outline drawings, they really wouldn't tell you very much.

Each of the subjects provides only the unique markings which are basically badge and codes. All of the rest of the markings will need to come from the kit or some other source. No specific kits are indicated, but there are good ones of all the subjects in the set. Each of the entries includes the date range, basic color scheme and the variant of the aircraft in question. It also includes a small image from the book that shows the placement of the badge. Everything is written in German, but for most of us, this is not an issue.
