First Look
Syh@art Decals is an interesting aftermarket decal producer from France that specializes in those special paint schemes worn by NATO aircraft for Tiger Meet, Anniversary, or special Airshow duties. Most of their decal line is produced in 1/48 and 1/72 scale with selected subjects in 1/32 scale also covered.
In this release, we have a commemorative Mirage 2000C from the French Air Force that signifies the disestablishment of squadron EC2/12. When you look at photos of the full-scale subject, all you can do is admire the paint scheme and wish someone would produce the decals for that scheme. Well here they are.
This one subject is reproduced with decals on two sheets. You paint the airframe with the basic white/gray/blue scheme and then place each of the stripes and artwork as shown in the instructions. The result is going to be very stunning indeed! Note that none of the decals need to be stacked atop one another to replicate a given piece of artwork as done by some other decal makers, even the roundels have their center dots in place in this sheet. Nice work Syh@rt!
