Alongside their latest flurry of Fw 190D decals, Eagle Editions have also released a set featuring a pair of attractive Me 262s. In fact there is a link to the Dora sets, because one of the aircraft covered appears in the section of Jerry Crandall's study of the '190D devoted to JV 44.

The two aircraft featured are:

1. "White <<", W.Nr. unknown, flown by Generalleutnant Adolf Galland, JV 44, München-Riem, late April 1945
2. "Green 1", W.Nr. unknown, III./JG 7, location unknown, April 1945

As with other recent EagleCals, the custom-printing is by Cartograf and is quite superb. The registration of the thin glossy items is perfect and, although the sample set is 1:72, the tiny stencil data is still qiite legible under a magnifier.

The decals themselves are backed up by excellent instructions that describe each scheme in some detail, and include a full stencil-placement guide. Some modellers may feel slightly disappointed by the inclusion of only two colour schemes, but this is offset by the inclusion of two complete sets of stencils so you can build both subjects covered instead of choosing between them in the normal way.

EagleCals #127 is available in all three main aircraft modelling scales, priced as follows:

EC#127-72 $11.00
EC#127-48 $15.00
EC#127-32 $17.50

EagleCals are available worldwide or direct from Eagle Editions. Recommended.
