For anyone who has been around aviation modelling Eagle Editions will be a well known name and one that commands respect for high quality releases, particularly of thoroughly and accurately researched Luftwaffe subjects.

 With the release of Tamiya's new 48th scale Storch, it is not surprising to see some decals to go with it, and it is a great relief to see Eagle Editions entering the fray on this subject. As I mentioned earlier, using these decals is a no brainer as they have been thoroughly researched already, so they can be applied with confidence.

Printed by Microscale, the decals themselves are in perfect register with excellent colour consistency while proving to be very durable decals as well. The information accompanying the decals is thorough, and provides us with a great sense of how the aircraft should look through a combination of excellent descriptive text and several accompanying images.

With 4 options on the sheet to choose from, this release translates into fantastic value for money at $12.50 USD ( approx. € 8.15 or £ 6.41 ) and the markings cover a variety of interesting aircraft with two featuring the personal transportation aircraft of legendary Luftwaffe pilots Wolfgang Falck and Hans "Assi" Hahn.

Overall I would rate this as yet another winning release from Jerry and Judy Crandall and would recommend it highly for anyone in possession of the Tamiya Storch, or considering getting one. Hopefully Jerry and Judy will consider producing these decals in 32nd or 35th for the Hasegawa and Tasca Storch's.
