By Matt Bittner

In 1/72, Max Decals Antarctic Helicopters Part 1, sheet MAX7222, contain three more - and very different - machines than their 1/48 sheet. The following machines are covered:

1. Siksorsky S-55 Grupo Aeronaval Antarctico Argentine Navy 1968
2. Sikorsky HO4S-3 from the icebreaker USS Glacier 1956
3. Sikorsky HUS-1L "Kingpin II", VX-6 1957
4. Sikorsky LH-34, VX-6 in 1965
5. Bell UH-1B US Army Operation Deep Freeze '62
6. Bell UH-1B US Army Operation Deep Freeze '65
7. Bell UH-1D US Army 1969 Season
8. Bell UH-1D US Navy 1970 Season
9. Bell 212 Uruguayan Air Force, mid- 1990's
10. Bell 412 Chilean Air Force, 2009
11. BO-105 Uruguayan Navy 2010
12. AS-332B Super Puma Argentine Army mid-1990's
13. CH-101 onboard helicopter from icebreaker Shirase, JMSDF, 2010

The decals are in register, nicely printed and colorful! Some of the most colorful helicopters ever flown are provided for on this sheet. Not only does the instruction sheet call out what decals go where, but also provides a kit-list selection as well as changes needed for the specific machines.

If you're looking for different and colorful markings for your 1/72 helicopter, then you'll want this sheet.

Thanks to Max Decals for sending this to review.
