This new decal
sheet from Canuck
Model Products
provides markings for 2 aircraft including D.H. Vampire - AB+3
Standard Service Markings. This sheet provides AB+3 markings and stencils for D.H. Vampire's in RCAF service.
The instruction sheet is well laid out and easy to follow. The single water slide decal sheet is of the highest quality and very clearly printed. Reference Sources:
NOTE: Due to the limited amount of colour reference materials, the light blue of the 410Sqn stripes is a best educated guess. The colour was selected based on the few colour photos available as well as the known standard RCAF paints available at the time and in use on other aircraft. The modeller may wish to mask and paint a different shade of blue to their preference. The Vampire has always been a favourite aircraft of mine due to it's very unique design. This decal sheet captures two much loved squadrons including Cougar Squadron with it's leaping red cougar artwork and 442 City of Vancouver Squadron with its big red bat face with intimidating fangs. It's good to see RCAF Vampire markings and the Cougar Squadron bird would be an excellent companion to other Cougar Squadron models.. This decal sheet is also available in 1/72. I would like to thank Canuck Model Products for providing me with this product sample. Steve Bamford |
