FirstLook

Here is an innovative new product for those who love figures, but may not have the confidence to hand-paint intricate camouflage schemes - camouflage decals.

Crossdelta has released five 1/35 scale camouflage pattern decals covering modern and WWII subjects. Each set includes one sheet of camouflage decals. Simple instructions describe who uses the particular pattern and where and when, plus other helpful information such as equipment that it was used on.

Each sheet size is 14cm x 9cm. I am not sure how many figures one sheet will cover, but with careful planning you will get at least a few out of a set.

Some sheets also provide different color variations from new to used and faded. This will offer good contrast of uniforms and equipment when doing more than one figure.

The decals may be fiddly and take consuming to apply. You have to give them time to dry and set, followed by a coat of flat clear before attempting any furher detail painting or weathering.

In my opinion, this is a great product and the sample patterns look excellent. These could also be used as a great reference for those who want to tackle painting the pattern themselves
