Here is an interesting release from Decals by AMtech. This set covers two P-51D Mustangs from the 332 Fighter Group - the red-tailed Mustangs of the Tuskegee Airmen. This set will work well with either the Trumpeter, Bandai or Airfix 1/24 P-51D Mustang kits. The two aircraft covered in this release are:

  • P-51D-15-NA, 100 FS/332 FG, 'Duchess Arelene' as flown by 1Lt Robert W. Williams, 31 Mar 45
  • P-51D, 301 FS/332 FG, 'Creamer's Dream' as flown by 1Lt Charles White, 1 Apr 45

These decals are printed by Three Guys Replicas (TGR). The printing is perfectly in register. The instructions providing excellent color references as well as decal placement information.

While other decals in the TGR line are available from online sources like Squadron Mail Order, the Decals by AMtech line is a little more difficult to locate. I did find that Hannants had this set available, though they are listed as TGR.
