This sheet is for the second of the two specially painted display Hawks for 2006. The one on this sheet is for the 90th Anniversary of 208 Squadron, which last flew Buccaneers. The aircraft is painted in the standard black with yellow and light blue markings. The decals are for the red and white portion of these markings with the modeler supplying the blue as paint. This is standard Roundel Blue and a complete list of paints is provided so you can match it.
A full color four view is provided along with the decals and includes a complete stencil suite. This sheet is available in both 1/48 and 1/72 scale with the Airfix kit recommended in 1/48 and the Revell kit (which I have to assume is Italeri), in 1/72. The decals look to be on register and are quite complete. I've darkened the sheet image a bit so you can see the stencils.
