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, one assigned to two different
pilots:
- P-51D-5-NA, 44-13691, 362 FS/357 FG, G4-A, 'Passion Wagon'
as flown by Lt. C.E Weaver, 1945
- P-51D-5-NA, 44-13691, 362 FS/357 FG, G4-A, 'Passion Wagon'
as flown by Lt. Arvil Robertson, 1945
- P-51D-10-NA, 44-14722, 362 FS/357 FG, G4-N, 'Temptation' as
flown by Lt Matthew Martin, late 1944
Appropriate national markings and kill markings are included.
This set is tailored for both the DML and Hasegawa 1/32 P-51D
kits, with the nose bands clearly marked to be used for each kit.
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!
