A set of decals to create a tribute build for the Battle of Britain and/or to some of the RAF legends of WW2. They will work particularly well with Tornado, Eurofighter Typhoon and F-35 Lightning II builds but will look good on any RAF or NATO aircraft.

The sample model photo’s take the RAF’s Typhoon and Canadian Air Force’s F/A-18 75th Anniversary aircraft (pictured) in WW2 colours as inspiration and build on this with options to pay tribute to one or more of four legends of the era:

  • Wing Commander Douglas Bader CBE, DSO & Bar, DFC & Bar of “Reach for the Sky” fame.
  • Flt. Lt. James Nicolson VC, DFC – the only Battle of Britain fighter pilot to be awarded the VC.
  • Sqr. Ldr. Pat Pattle DFC & Bar – considered highest-scoring British Commonwealth pilot of the war.
  • Grp. Cpt. Johnnie Johnson CB, CBE, DSO & Two Bars, DFC & Bar - the highest scoring Western Allied fighter ace against the German Luftwaffe.

Decals include:

  • Images of Bader, Nicolson, Pattle and Johnson intended for tail fins
  • Their squadron and aircraft numbers with RAF roundel
  • Personal emblems where applicable
  • Name insignia for cockpit sides
  • “Reach for the Sky” logos
  • Iconic RAF phrases (intended for drop-tanks, large munitions or fuselage sides)
  • Images of the iconic Hurricane & Spitfire in various sizes
  • WW2 RAF roundels and tail flashes
  • 80th Anniversary logo
  • RAF badges

The decals are printed on high grade clear water slide decal paper. They are produced as an entire sheet and the individual decals are not separate on the transparent layer. The transparent sheet is very thin and conforms well to model contours, although a decal setting solution is still recommended. They are sealed with a clear coat to protect them during handling & application.

As the paper is clear the decals are semi-transparent and final colour is affected by the under-lying model colour giving a weathered/aged effect. They will have higher contrast on lighter backgrounds.


Models not included.
