Hello

Some time ago, we announced decals for the Dutch F-35s, which were still in development at the time. Initially, it was supposed to be a simple, standard, generic set, but as we gathered information, it turned out that the Dutch have a very interesting approach to their aircraft, and virtually every one has individual markings, such as the pilot's nickname and the technician's nickname on the nose gear flaps. Additionally, there are the insignia of the individual squadrons and miniatures of the insignia on the aforementioned landing gear flaps. It wasn't easy to determine the appearance of all these elements, let alone gather a complete set of photos to create decals for a specific aircraft. However, we managed to assign several aircraft to each squadron, and that's how we created the decals. We haven't ruled out developing an additional sheet in the future, and when more aircraft are available, it looks like the screenshot below, and that's how it will be sent to print. The markings of the drone shot down over Poland on the F-027 are also included.

These sets, as well as the already announced Finnish ones, should be available in mid-April.

This isn't the end of the Dutch decals either; more are in the works ;)

Remember that we recently introduced 3D-printed components for Dutch aircraft, among others, which are essential for proper model building.

This is a drag chute container, which several Dutch aircraft already have installed.

and a cap used when this parachute is not installed and this is what most Dutch aircraft look like nowadays

These elements are available in three scales: 1/72, 1/48, and 1/32.

We also recommend a T-shirt to complete the set, e.g. with a Dutch F-35 ;)

Speaking of T-shirts, tomorrow we will present some premieres from DMJ-MM
