F-4DableModels
is a new decal company located in Malaysia. Currently they have 2 decals
sheets. Both sheets deal with the Royal Malaysian
Air Force F/A-18D Hornet.
1)
TUDM McAir F/A-18D Hornet in 1/48 scale
2)
TUDM McAir F/A-18D Hornet in 1/72 scale
The
decals are printed by Cartograf in Italy. These are standard markings for
one of eight Gunship Grey painted F/A-18D
Hornet's flown by the
Tentera Udara Diraja Malaysia (Malay language for the Royal Malaysian Air
Force).
The
initial decal sheets had some slight problems with font design for the number 5
being incorrect as well as the nose modex numbers were too large. The
affected decals were printed up on a "correction sheet" to ensure
complete accuracy.
There
are 2 different types of Malaysian
roundel and both are included on this decal sheet. Also included are tail
and nose numbers for all 8 F/A-18D's in service with the Royal Malaysian Air
Force. You get a set of generic black F/A-18 stencils for one aircraft.
To
build an accurate Malaysian F/A-18D you will have to do some slight
modifications to the basic F/A-18 model kit, but the instructions go into detail
about what needs to be changed.
The
instructions include one page of text and one page of black and white line
drawings showing decal placement for all the stencils. Further info
about modelling the F/A-18D in Malaysian service
is also included.
The
1/48 and 1/72 decal sheets will be available separately. The prices are
US$9.00 and US$6.00 for the 1/48 and 1/72 sheet respectively.
