Very, very nice! I still go to Ventura for all my Kiwi needs, but this is a great option for those who want a bit of both.

Note to the Canucks here. On the F-104 sheets, the Maple Leaf located inside the roundel and on the Canadian flags  are incorrect.  And the numbers are incorrect for the CAF but okay for the RCAF.

Here is a correct version.

I sent Hannants a note on these issues.

From the exactly right scale department!  :smiley:
These Xtradecal sheets with a multitude of users for a given type really get the creative juices flowing. A Skyhawk would look cool in any of these schemes. Corsairs, Harriers, Frightenings! And for the countries that didn't fly them yet some Phantoms, Tigers, Mirages (III thru 2000), any Century Series aircraft, some Teen Series types,....  :-* :-* :-*

Xtradecal sheets IMHO are the best deal for the Dollar/Pound/Euro/Krona/Peso/Franc/Yen/Rand/Yuan/Lira/Rupee/Ruble/Zloty etc.

Only $11 CDN for up to 12 markings.

Those Sabre ones could find a use...especially the RCAF and RSAF ones with a Hawker Hunter.

Kind of surprised they didn't include this scheme:

but I suppose you can get it already:

This would also have been a good one:

some friends of mine are going to be very happy with the Belgian 1/48 Seaking decals, as DACO's offering is going to be sold out as soon as the Airfix SeaKing kit hits the stores. its a good thing there will be an alternative now  :smiley:
