If you've seen the AMtech 1/48 Ta 183 kit, you know how nice
that kit is straight out of the box! Not wishing to stop there,
AMtech has released this companion decal set to give you four
more colorful options for the Luft '46 modeler. This set covers
four notional Huckebeins:
- Ta 183A-1, JV44 Papagai Staffel, Early 1946
- Ta 183A-1, III./JG54, Winter 1945
- Ta 183B-1, 2nd Gruppo Caccia, Italian AF, Winter 1945
- Ta 183A-1, 224 ACR, Japan, late 1945
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.
