FFSMC (Flying Frog's Scale Models Club) is a new aftermarket decal manufacturer from France. Some of his products are really worth to take a look at!
FFSMC has just started to produce a new range of decals for aviation, cars and motorbikes. Amongst two "classic" decal sheets, there are some references which are very intriguing. Here's a list of the aviation related products:
- Alouette II "Marine" is a decal sheet for the famous French helicopter and features decals for dozens of options in the three most popular scales (1/72, 1/48 and 1/32). The sheet is of course aimed at experienced modelers given the subject. The sheet was printed with an Alps MD-5500 printer and a Konica-Minolta Magicolor 5550 printer. This allowed FFSMC to do a high quality decal sheet. The gold color of the French Marine's blazon is printed with a metallic color for example.
- Fw-58 "Marinah" is a decal sheet for the rare MPM vacuformed kit. If you have this kit in your stash and want to do a brasilian aircraft, this sheet is worth to consider. It is also possible that the Fw-58 will be produced in 1/48 by a short run manufacturer in the future.
- Aluminium bouchonné is a decal sheet which reproduces machine turned aluminium, a finish that can be found on many early aircraft (Lindbergh's "Spirit of Saint Louis" is a good exemple). The decal sheet is available in 1/72 and 1/48 scale and in two sizes.
- Decal Chrome is a decal sheet that reproduces... chrome! Yes this is not an April 1st fool (it's too late for that). If it works well, I can see many application possibilities for such a product.
