PYN-up Decals 1/48
Beautiful Jugs Part 4 (5?)

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 4, but this set should be Part 5 as set CED48021 is Part 4. This set covers two P-47s from WW2:

• P-47D-2-RE, 42-8096, 341 FS/348 FG, Port Moresby, New Guinea, 1943, 'Miss Mutt'
• P-47D-1-RE, 42-7938, 62 FS/56 FG, LM-S, Halesworth, UK, 1943

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!
