Bright Spark Decals BS2 1/72 Pakistani Air Force and Navy Roundels

Decals
Aircraft 1/72 Scale
This sheet provides roundels and fin flashes for Pakistani aircraft from the nation’s inception in 1948 to date. Also supplied are a variety of larger white centres for application over the appropriate roundel to form one of the differing styles that have been used, along with extra white bars for the more modern type of fin flash. If using the larger centres or bars they should be applied once the basic decal is in position and fully dry. The white bars should be positioned to the front of the normal flash to mimic the Pakistani national flag, and it should be noted that some of the second-line aircraft carry a rectangular fin flash. This can be replicated by carefully trimming a suitable amount from the top and bottom of the basic flash. Although it would appear that only single-handed flashes are supplied on this sheet careful study of references show that both sides of the fins carry identical flashes, so that the decal need only to be rotated 180 degrees to provide the opposite-handed orientation, with the star always uppermost and to the rear. Roundels with the thin yellow border were commonly used on camouflaged aircraft in the early years, and some Navy aircraft, marked below with *. Some Freighters, HU-16’s and the CN- 235’s carried a roundel with a smaller white centre, this can be made by using the normal sized roundel and then applying a suitable smaller one over it once dry.
