First Look
RAM Models has released their latest decal set. This new sheet provides the markings and stenciling for the retirement of the last Nimrod R.1P from RAF service. The aircraft is now on display at RAF Cosford and this release will allow you to replicate this aircraft using the Airfix kit.
The subjects included in this set:
- Nimrod R.1P, XV249, 51 Sqn, RAF Waddington/Wyton, 2011
The full-color instructions provide color and marking information for the aircraft including clear stenciling placement diagrams. The decals are nicely printed by Fantasy Printshop.
If you're looking for a unique subject for your Airfix kit, this set provides a nice option and these decals are available directly from their website. For more information about this set and the other releases from RAM Models, visit their website at www.rammodels.co.uk.
My sincere thanks to RAM Models for this review sample!
