Remarks: This AML Release contains 4 different Aircraft from the Finnish Air Force, one of them, the Blackburn Roc, never reached Finland. Then there is a Morane MS406, in French Camouflage colors with the well known yellow wing tips, cowling and fuselage band. Then there are 2 Mercury engined Fokker D.XXI and a license build, Twin Wasp powered Fokker D.XXI on ski's and finally a Finnish Messerschmitt Bf-109G-6.
The instructions are very clear and in full color. There is a list included to let you choose from several brands for the paints, the list includes Xtracolor, Model Masters, Humbrol, Gunze and FS. The Decals itself are nicely in register and the colors good, the blue of the swastika s isn t too dark.
For a reasonable price you'll get a very nice sheet to create a few very nice aircraft from the Finnish Air Force during World War II.
