First Look
Platz Hobby produces a wide range of kits, decals, and detail sets for the hobby market and are wanting to make their presence better known outside the Japanese market. You might want to take note as if this is an example of their work, you're going to want to procure some of these various products of interest.
In this release, we have a VERY thorough decal set for one of two Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF) MH-53 Sea Dragon helicopters.
The subjects provided in this set include:
- MH-53E, 8629, JMSDF
- MH-53E, 8631, JMSDF
In addition, the set provides an extensive set of stenciling, cockpit console and instrument panel decals, walkways, and distintive airframe markings. The printing is quite nicely done and in perfect register.

My sincere thanks to Platz Hobby for this review sample!
