Star Decals from Sweden has been busy lately with a batch of five new 1:72 scale releases.

Four of the new releases focus on conflicts in Ukraine. These cover a nice selection of vehicles and unique markings. Vehicles covered include T-62M, BMP-1, BTR-60, M114 and YPR 765:

72-A 1148 – War, Conflicts and Special Operations Ukraine Part 10 - Oldies

72-A 1149 – War, Conflicts and Special Operations Ukraine Part 11 – Foreign Aid

72-A 1150 – War, Conflicts and Special Operations Ukraine Part 12 – Tank and AFV Insignia

72-A 1151 – War, Conflicts and Special Operations Ukraine Part 12 – Tank and AFV

72-A 1152 – Balkan Peacekeepers #2 CanadianM113 in Bosnia UNPROFOR - UNPF

The next sheet offers markings a selection of Canadian peacekeeping M113s in Bosnia. The vehicles are finished in overall UN white.

Also included are some blank number plates and a number jungle to come up with your own custom plates.

All these vehicles are finished in typical late-war finish of Green and Red Brown over Dark Yellow.

All of these Star Decals releases are packed in a resealable plastic bag and feature a single folded A4 page of instructions. Each subject is illustrated in colour. Scrap views and notes are offered where necessary. The instruction sheet also has a number map for the decal sheet.

The decal sheets themselves are printed in perfect register. They have a satin finish but sit down on the surface of the model very well. I have used Star Decals on many project and they have always behaved well for me.
