The folks at Meteor Productions continue to turn out great aftermarket decals with some of the best instructions/color profiles on the market.

In this release, Cutting Edge has produced more new decals for either the Tamiya or Hasegawa 1/48 P-51D kits. These four examples include:

  • P-51D, 472199, G4-A, 362 FS as flown by Capt. Charles E. Weaver
  • P-51D, 472308, WD-A, 335 FS, 'Ridge Runner III' as flown by Maj. Pierce McKennon
  • P-51D, 463607, FT-L, 353 FS as flown by Lt. Col. Glenn Eagleston
  • P-51D, 472505, #66, 82 TRS, 'Flying Undertaker' as flown by Maj. William Shomo

These will be very welcome additions for the Mustang modeler who will be very tempted to build several examples with these colorful markings.

Highly recommended!

My sincere thanks to Meteor Productions for this review sample!
