Lifelike Decals from Japan turns out some colorful and nicely
printed subjects. In this set, we have eight aircraft from
the 244th Sentai. These are a combination of Kawasaki Ki-61
(Tony) and Ki-100 (Tony) aircraft.
This decal set provides markings for eight aircraft:
Hien Type I-Tei, '87', Kobayashi
Type 5 Fighter Otsu, Kobayashi
Hein Type I-Tei, '62', Itakura
Hein Type I-Tei, Shinbu-tai
Hien Type I-Tei, '24', Kobayashi
Hien Type I-Otsu, '16', Shono
Hien Type I-Hei, '88', Shono
Hien Type I-Hei, '71', Soyokaze-tai
According to the instructions, you can build the Otsu and
Hei from the Arii kit, while the Tei can be done from the Hasegawa
kit. Note that Hasegawa has released the Hei since these instructions
were written.
As you can see in the decal image, this set comes complete
with a full set of national markings, distinctive unit markings,
and a wealth of maintenance stencils. If you're looking for
a colorful alternative that isn't from the mainstream Superscale/Eagle
Strike/Aeromaster line-up, here is a nice way to be different!
This set is definitely recommended! You can purchase these
decals through FlightDecs or
directly from Lifelike
Decals.
