--------------------
The Rising Decals are back this time with a small but very attractive decal sheet. The subject is a Morane Saulnier M.S. 406 Fighter used in service of Croatian AF and Yugoslav Partizan AF. This sheet sells under number 72-004. Unfortunately this sheet will not be printed in other scales.

This sheet offers total of 3 color schemes :

 - M.S. 406 C1 no.2305, ex-Armee de l'Air, ex- Luftwaffe in the service of Croatian Air Force, Zagreb AB, early 1944.

 - M.S. 406 C1 no.2308, also wearing German applied camouflage with mottles.

- M.S. 406 C1 no.2308, same aircraft as option 2 but from September 1944 while flying for Yugoslav Partizan AF. This aircraft carries red, white and blue tail with a red star & red stars also applied to the wings. Pilot corporal Sulejman Selimbegovic scored one confirmed victory over German Junkers W-34 on this plane.

The black-and-white instruction sheet is in English. The reviewed decal sheet is well printed in perfect register.

So, if you are looking for different yet attractive schemes for your Hasegawa's M.S. 406 I do highly recomend this little sheet. Go to www.Hannants.co.uk
