First Look
Here is the latest from Caracal, this set is just in time for Italeri's recent Fokker F.27 reissue. In this release, Caracal provides three schemes for military operators of the F-27.
The aircraft presented in this set include:
- F.27, C-5, KLU 75th Anniversary Scheme, 1988
- F-27, FF-3, Finnish AF, 2011
- F.27, 5-2602, Islamic Republic of Iran Navy, 2015
This set includes the more visible airframe markings as well as all of the national and distinctive markings for each of the three schemes. This set is printed by Microscale and all of the markings are produced as single layers so you don't have to stack multiple decals to reproduce a given marking. If you've been considering a Fokker for your scale flightline, these colorful schemes will worth having at least one on your shelf.
