First Look
FCM Decals has an interesting line of aftermarket decals from Brazil. The subjects covered in this line include many Brazilian civil and military aircraft subjects, WWI aircraft, and the occasional look at the aircraft of other nations as well. In this release, we have a number of different Mirage F.1 examples just in time for the upcoming KittyHawk Models 1/48 Mirage F1 single-seater kit as well as for the two-seat variant released earlier this year. The subjects included in this set include:
- Mirage F1 JA, 2112 FS/21 FW, Ecuadorian AF, 2007
