  • L-39 Albatros 'Blue 25' wearing Ochre and Dark Green camo on top and Light Blue Grey on the undersides.

  • Su-17M3 Fitter 'Blue 81' wearing a very interesting three tone Yellow-Brown/Brown/Dark Green splinter camo over Blue-Grey undersides.

  • Su-25 'Blue 24' wearing a Beige/Dark Green camo over Bright Blue undersides.

  • Su-25UB 'Blue 30' wearing a Beige/Dark Green camo over Bright Blue undersides.

The 8 pages of instructions include 3 view colour profiles of each jet with camo schemes.  Some history of Azerbaijan and the structure of the Azerbaijan Air Force is included which helps explain what countries each of these jet was acquired from which helps to explain their different camo schemes.  All this will help you understand the different camo schemes.  Colours are called out in AKAN paint #'s as well as the approx. FS #.

The decals are clearly printed and look excellent. 

Linden Hill Decals are the experts when it comes to markings for Soviet built aircraft and this decal sheet is another in a long line of top quality decals from Linden Hill Decals.  This sheet gives you some very exciting camo and markings choices for the different jets used by the Azerbaijan Air Force.  I'm a big fan of building models from a  variety of countries, so this sheet is a big hit with me.

I would like to thank Linden Hill Decals for providing me with this review sample.  You can buy this decal sheet directly from the Linden Hill Imports website.
