Finnish Fighters WWII is the third title in Mushroom Model Publications’ “Camouflage and Decals” series (first release was focused on French aircraft flown by Polish pilots in 1939-1940 and second – late war Messerschmitt Bf 109G).
This title highlights camouflage and markings of six Finnish WWII fighters with well documented schemes provided for modelers to reproduce. Photos and colors profiles describe camouflage and markings in detail.
High quality decals are provided for each aircraft in 1/72 and 1/48 scales on a single A4 sheet. The decals are produced by ModelMaker. Stenciling is not provided.

The package’s overall looks deluxe. Art on all of the profiles looks very well done, and the text nicely describes the colors and markings of each aircraft, showing (mostly) both sides of each aircraft. Colors are presented in Federal Standard, so check color charts before start painting with any other brand of colors!
