PYN-up Decals 1/48
Babes-4-U Part 1

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 USMC Corsairs from the South Pacific in WW2:

• F4U-1, 02576, VMF-222, 576, 'Marine's Dream', Munda, Oct 1943
• F4U-1A, 17965, VMF-422, 8, Engibi Island, May 1944

Appropriate national markings and fuel tank tape (stripes) are also provided in this set.

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!
