PYN-up Decals is a new decal line from Meteor Productions, the PYN standing
for "Pick Your Noseart". So what's different about these decals? First, they've
selected more intricate subjects, some of which have been done by other
manufacturers. Second, the markings that are solid color by definition (national
markings, ID codes, etc.) are provided as standard decals. Even the noseart
backgrounds are provided as standard decals.
Finally, the noseart is printed
with a difference process which allows for photo-quality gradations
of color instead of the pixel-dithered colors we're accustomed
to in normal decals. The result is a stunning rendition of noseart
that has not been mass-produced before!
This set covers two P-51D Mustangs:
- P-51D-5-NA, 55 FS/20 FG, KI-S, as flown by Lt Moon Mullins
- P-51D-20-NA, 334 FS/4 FG, QP-S, Feb 1945, 'Sweet Arlene' as
flown by Lt Arthur Bowers
Appropriate national markings and kill markings are included.
With the upcoming release of the all-new-tool Dragon 1/32 P-51D
Mustang, these decals are just in time to give you an edge on some
distinctive markings. These are very limited production decals,
with only 300 examples printed for each subject. You'd better get
yours while the getting is still good!
Highly recommended!
My sincere thanks to Meteor Productions
for this review sample!
