#32-95
is available online from
Squadron.com
Eagle Cals always seem to release well-researched products. This
decal sheet is no exception. It is also timely, as is intended for the
quite superb 1/32 Trumpeter kit. As usual for this firm the decals are
first rate in terms of printing, colour density and thin carrier film.
 Three
late war 262A-1 aircraft are depicted on the sheet and these are:
-
Yellow 3 of II/KG(J) 54 in May of
1945. This aircraft has RLM 83 thinly applied on the upper and form
the ref material I had on hand in some places the putty joins can be
seen underneath the paint. The Undersides are RLM 76. The hard edge
camo applied to the tail fin is represented as a decal and is very
well done.
-
The second aircraft is Red 13 of
Heinz Bar of III/EJG 2. It seems from available references that
nobody really knows if the colours were greys or late war browns and
greens. Eagle Cal have gone the standard route with this one and
depicted it as RLM 74/75 on the upper.
-
The last Aircraft is Black 1 from
III/JG 7 and was the aircraft of Rudi Sinner . The sheet says the
aircraft should be painted in Banded Scheme of RLM 82/ 83 but I
believe that may be a typo as it should be RLM 82/81 over RLM 76.The
Aircraft was different as it carried 2 21cm rocket tubes under the
nose.
