Xtradecal has released a new decal sheet covering a colourful special scheme for an RAF C-130J Hercules. This will be suitable for the Italeri kit.

A bonus set of decals is included for a 1/72 scale 617 Sqn RAF F-35B Lightning II.

 

 

Details of the two aircraft are as follows:

  • Lockheed C-130J Hercules C.5 'ZH880' of 47 Squadron, Royal Air Force based at RAF Brize Norton, UK, 2016

  • F-35B, 617 Squadron RAF finished in overall Gunship Grey.

Instructions for the decal sheet are in full colour across one folded double-sided A4 sheet. Both side views plus upper and lower views are provided for both the schemes.

 

 

Colour notes are offered, along with model paint callouts for Xtracolor enamels and Xtracrylix acrylics.

Two A5-sized decal sheets are provided for this colourful scheme.

 

 

As usual, the decals are beautifully printed and feature thin carrier film.

 

 

This new Xtradecal release will be ideal to add that unique finishing touch to your 1/72 scale Hercules and F-35B Lightning II kits.
