I have just received the FFSMC decals for the 48th escadrille SPADs. There appears to be complete markings for 2 aircraft - #7 piloted by Jacques Rogues and #2 piloted by Armand de Turenne.
These decals are different from typical decals in a couple of aspects. They are not screen printed, but printed by some other method. The registration appears to be good. The edges of the color graphics do not appear to be hard lines, but are sharp enough to my naked eye to be acceptable.
The other difference is the film around the graphics is die cut so the decal sheet is a complete coverage decal film with die cut graphics and about 1.5mm of clear film around the colors.
There is a wood grain panel included, but I am not sure where it goes. The instructions indicate it goes around the cockpit area, but I am not sure I've seen that on a SPAD before. Maybe Rick can comment.
I measured the cockade proportions and the white is just more than 3X the blue center and the red is slightly more than 5X the blue center.
Overall, I am satisfied with the appearance and look forward to using them on a Roden SPAD - when I get one.
