Decal Sheet No. AXT351008
Review by Terry Ashley
The decal sheet is again printed by Microscale and is of excellent quality with clear well printed markings, good colour register and very thin carrier film that is cropped close to the edge of the printed image that should react well with any decal setting solution.
Included on the sheet are the turret numbers, unit insignia and a selection of balkenkreuz with the turret numbers and markings for the 4 specific vehicles as well as selection of turret numbers in white, red and yellow with additional black outlines to uses as required.
The sAbt 506 emblem is also provided in the different colours for the three companies (1 white, 2 red and 3 yellow) as well as additional black and green emblems as there is some debate on the actual colours and again the provision of alternatives is excellent.
The full colour instruction sheet is a feature of Echelon decals and this sheet is no exception with each vehicle getting a large side view as well as those with zimmerit clearly indicated. The illustrations clearly show the decal placement as well as giving information on the camouflage scheme each was finished in.
Also included is a list of 15 notable references available to provide additional info on the sheets markings.
The vehicles included on the sheet are:
An explanation of the term 'Hybrid' is included to shed more light on this
and generic numbers give an almost endless choice of markings.
Highly recommended
Thanks to Larry of Echelon Fine Details for the review sample.
