Late last year, Syh@art Decals released an interesting decal set depicting a variety of CL-415 and C-130A fire tankers in French service. Here is part two of that set which covers the CL-215, S-2 Tracker (piston and turboprop), and the Fokker F-27 - all in firebomber configurations.

The aircraft that can be replicated by this set include:

• CL-215, Pelican 19, F-ZBBT, 1973
• CL-215, Pelican 40, F-ZBBM, 1976
• CL-215, Pelican 24, F-ZBDD, 1995

• F-27, Pelican 71, F-ZBFF, 2004

The instructions show you the color and markings for these versions in color four-view drawings and you can see in the images above that there are seven sheets of varying sizes provided with nice decals to render any number of these subjects for your shelf.

This is another nice release from Syh@rt Decals and will make for a colorful change to build a bomber that drops its load to put out fires instead of starting them.
