PYN-up Decals 1/48
Beautiful Jugs Part 4

PYN-up Decals is a growing 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!

I know the artwork says Part 3, but this set is either Part 4 or 'Part 3 Part II' as set CED48019 is Part 3. This set covers two European Theater P-47s from WW2:

• P-47D-5-RE, 42-8438, 354 FS/355 FG, Steeple Morden, UK, 1943, 'Lil Lo'
• P-47D-28-RE, 42-28627, 63 FS/56 FG, UN-M, Boxted, UK, 1945, 'Shack Pit'

A nice set of maintenance stenciling along with the appropriate national markings 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!
