Last weekend I was chatting with Flying Helmut who was quite enthusiastic about some new decal sets currently being designed by Mehulsa/ 1/144 Direct on eBay.
After seeing the scans Tim had
I contacted Mehulsa myself and am also quite excited now myself.
It is intended to make a number of Squadron sets of decals for, initially, Battle of Britain.
Each decal set will give enough for 6 Brit squaron aircraft and 8 a German fighters.
Initially the decals will include 609 Sqn (Spitfires) and 303 (Hurricanes)
III9/KG53, 1.2/KG53 both He111, a Schwarm each from Gruppe 1,2,3&4
The side decals are an all in one, so includes letter Roundal or cross and letter/ number, all correctly spaced so you cut out the whole decal and place on the side of the aircraft.
These are due out in the next few weeks and will expand if the range is successful.
After speaking to Matt, they will all be released in 1/144, 1/200, 1/285-1/300 and 1/350. Comments / requests always welcome.
In fact I asked about 19 Sqn and I received a mock up set of 19 Sqn decals a short while later.
I will look forward to seeing if these actually get made as I will indulge.
I can't post pics as yet, due to obvious reasons but will ask if Mehulsa is ok with me doing so.
My impression and I know Tim is the same, is oh yes please.
Keep a watch out chaps and if successful you may get your favourite unit
