For years RAF
enthusiast have not been able to find the proper size or shape of code
letters and were forced to wait until decal manufactures did the machine
they wanted or they had to cut and mask their own letters, well that time
is over. Tally Ho! out of the Czech Republic, has produced three
sheets that fill this niche and make RAF codes infinitely easier.
Tally Ho! has released three different sheet sets, grey (48 010), sky (48
011), and dull red (48 012). Each of these sheets gives you three
sheets per package, one of 24” letters, one of 30” letters, and one sheet
with 8” serial numbers and letters. All the letters are provided in
the most popular shapes and configurations, including the 8” type.
You should be able to replicate most squadron codes used by the RAF.
The decals are very, very thin and are very “sticky”. A hint for
working with them is when applying them use a little bit of spit on the
model to position the decals. The saliva allows you to position them
as needed. The decals adhere real well and they react well with all
setting solutions. They are opaque and settle down exceptionally
well. If I had to find a problem with the decals it would be that
there are no 24” or 30” numbers supplied to do 2nd TAF markings.
There may be some coming in the future (speculation on my part), besides
the decals are labelled Code Letters not Numbers. I couldn’t
find anything wrong with the decals. I highly
recommend the decals. They will allow you to model almost any
aircraft the RAF used, especially the fighter types. They are
available through their website at
www.tallyho.cz and cost $7.00 each. Thanks to Tally-Ho! for the review samples. |
