This new decal sheet features 5 different Civilian Aircraft and will be a welcome decal sheet to the airliner modeller builder and folks that are looking for markings for Canadian civil aircraft.  One of the planes features sexy artwork of a Can Can Dancer on both sides of the tail.  

Many airlines acquired their aircraft from surplus aircraft sales directly after WW2 and Canadian airlines were no exception.

 

There is four pages of black and white instruction sheets giving exacting information about decal placement and colours used.  History of each aircraft is also provided.  There is also a colour sheet showing side view of the planes.  This decal sheet is also available in 1/144 and I'll review that decal sheet separately.

The instructions are very complete and walk you through all the finer points of installing these unique decals.  The decal sheets are very complete and include such things as prop tip decals and are of the usual clearly printed high level of quality that Leading Edge Models is well known for.  I particularly enjoyed seeing the variety of airliners presented on this one decal sheet.  This decal sheet is highly recommended.
