PzKpfw VI 'TIGER I' (Early production)
Tigers of s.Pz-Abt.505/Totenkopf/Grossdeutschland.
1:35th Decal Sheet BD-35021
Review by Terry Ashley

The quality of the printing by MicrosScale is again excellent with good colour register and very thin carrier film cropped close to the edge of the printed image for easy application and should adhere well with a bit of decal setting solution.

The sheets includes the Divisional markings, Unit insignia and Tactical markings for the featured vehicles as well as additional balkenkreuz applicable to the various vehicles.

The single instruction sheet has three view black and white drawings of the vehicles showing the location of the various decals as well as a list useful reference books.

The images below and also available on the Bison Decals web site illustrate the markings included on the sheets as well as serving as additional painting guides.
