Hawker Hunter/A-20 Douglas Invader
Monogram's mighty Invader falls under the spotlight with three examples that flew under the French flag. They are two RB-26C's from E.R.P. 2/19 and E.R.P. 1/32 "Armagnac", the other being a B-26C of G.B. 1/91 "Bourgogne". All three aircraft are overall matt black, the 1/91 aircraft has a modicum of colour in the form of yellow cowl flashes and wingtips, while the 1/32 Invader has a white upper decking on the fuselage, a practise used to keep the interior cool in hot climates. The sheet includes roundels, wing walkway and canopy 'chop' markings as well as a few stencils.

The rest of the sheet is taken up with the ubiquitous Hawker Hunter with options for five aircraft. The first two are British, a GA.11 from 764 NAS, Lossiemouth in a grey and white finish, and the other is a two-seat T8.M from 899 Sqn/FRADU based at Yeovilton, this is overall dark sea grey but with a Sea Harrier FRS.1 nose grafted on. The other three aircraft are Swiss, all MK.58's. They are J-4007 "James Bond" in a blue, yellow and silver scheme; a Patrouille Suisse Hunter and a machine from Flieger Staffel 4, both in RAF-style green/green/silver finish. Code and serial markings are supplied while a second sheet caters for full stencil data and Swiss roundels.
