Santa Cruz Decals is a new company in Portugal that specializes in decals of the Portugese Air Force.  They have a variety of decals in 1/72, 1/48 and 1/32. 

This 1/72nd and 1/48th scale decal sheet is for a Portuguese T-33.  The particular plane featured in this decal sheet is the Portuguese T-33 that was painted up in this special anniversary scheme for 65 000 Horas and 38 years for the Portuguese Air Force.

The markings are quite good with special anniversary markings on both sides of the fuselage.  The entire plane is white overall with a flat black anti-glare shield in front of the canopy and blue FS 15065 and Red FS 11136 stripes on one of the wings.  You get enough decals to make one plane.  Some stencils are also included with this decal sheet.    

The printing quality of these silk screened decals is beautiful and perfectly in register.  The printing quality is also very sharp and crisp.....this would make a colourful and strikingly attractive model when it is complete.

My thanks to Santa Cruz Decals for the review sample.  Check out their website for other interesting Portuguese related aircraft decals.
