Trumpeter 06630 1/200 WW2 Signal Flags

International maritime signal flags is a set of specific signal flags used for visual communication between ships and vessels in the seas and oceans. These flags are used to broadcast the so-called International Code of Signals (MKS for short), which was approved in its current form in 1969. Most signals are 1 to 3 letters long, with each flag assigned a Latin letter. Moreover, each letter has been assigned a specific meaning. For example: a flag composed of two yellow stripes and one blue stripes is the letter D (Delta), which is assigned the meaning "Stay away - I am maneuvering with difficulty". On the other hand, the flag with two black and two yellow squares is the letter L (Lima) and means "Stop your ship!". However, the MCS also enables letter-by-letter communication, where the flags are assigned only a letter meaning, with no additional meanings.

73 flags.
