Mike Grant Decals 1/48
B-24 Liberators

A short while ago, I was digging through my stash of armor kits. I opened the three 1/35th scale resin kits, of Hungarian armor subjects, by Botond. These were ones that I traded a fellow in Hungary for. He wanted some of my company’s Armor Research armor accessories. These kits came without any decals. I put out a call on Hyperscale to see if anybody had some Hungarian national markings that they could spare. Mike Grant sent me an e-mail that he could help me out.

He asked me what size I would need, so I ran a ruler over the three kits and told him the sizes I needed. He responded that he was going to custom make these decals for me. I then became aware that he runs a company that produces and sells aircraft model decals. A few of his sheets have already been reviewed here and these reviews can be found in the decal archives.

After coming home from my trip to New Jersey, for my Mom’s 90th birthday party, I found an envelope from Mike from Canada. It had the custom made Hungarian decals, and 4 other sheets in the envelope for me to review.

The one of these sheets is for 1/48th Scale B-24s. A B-24J version with the nose art “Red Raiders” and a B-24H with the nose art “Witchcraft”. If you are going to do both aircraft from this sheet, you will need more national star and bar insignias from you decal box. Other than that, a great sheet.

This is a limited run sheet and it is screen printed. A full color instruction sheet is included. Registration is spot on. Highly recommended.

I want to thank Mike Grant for this review sheet, and also for the other sheets he sent me. Especially, the custom made Hungarian marks. Mike does custom work, but currently is not accepting any orders for any.
