From time to time you are lucky as a model builder. So also in this case: the idea for a next project was not yet quite pronounced and I just learned that Vingtor Decals wants to put his long sold-out sheet with the number 48 - 129A for a Norwegian Mk.43 again.

It arrived today and I'm thrilled!

You can immediately see that Nils Mathisrud (responsible for the artwork) designed the sheet „through the eyes" of the modeler.

The Norwegian national badges are available twice: once red and blue printed together and additionally consisting of two separate elements (blue and red separated). This offers the modeler the opportunity to realize did national badges absolutely free of offset. That would not be necessary with this sheet, because the print (BOA, Chech Republic) is absolutely excellent and without any offset.

Examples are also the size information in millimeters (original) for the black lettering: 300 mm, 280 mm, 250 mm, 200 mm! This approach is unparalleled.

Finally, Nils has reproduced all maintenance hints excellently and legably. He also thought about this point: black / red and black / white elements are present twice: once all colors together and additionally all colors separated. Here, too, the modeler can work very exactly.

I'm looking forward to the project and processing these decals. Thank you Vingtor Decals and Nils Mathisrud. 🙂🙂.
Very highly recommended
