Canadian Leopard C2A1 MEXAS markings
1:35 Decal Sheet No. D356006
Review by Terry Ashley

This is another simple sheet from Echelon that gives you three small sheets of generic US Navy hull numbers specifically aimed at the recent Italeri 1:35 kit of the Elco 80' PT Boat (kit #5602) but can be used on any similar boat if required.

The decals are the normal water slide type again printed by Microscale with the colour register spot on and thin carrier film and includes crop lines on the larger flags to ensure correct cutting.

This marking set is produced in conjunction to the impending release of MLM conversion set based on the Revell 1/35 Leopard 1A5 kit. MLM plans to incorporate this decal set into the conversion kit. So if you are planning to get the MLM (release date unknown for now) conversion set, you will not be needing this set.

The numbers feature the correct style shadow to replace the Italeri kit decals which have incorrectly placed shadows with two sizes of numbers provided plus a series of white numbers without shadows to use as required.

Conclusion:
An useful sheet that is well printed with the correct number shadows to use on the Italeri kit or any other suitable vessel with enough numbers to make any combination.

Highly recommended 8/10.

Thanks to Larry of Echelon Fine Details for the review sample.
