If you haven't visited Spada Decals' website recently, prepared to be blown away by all of the decal subjects they've produced in the last year or so. What's more, the quality is excellent, the price is very reasonable, and the subjects covered provide a terrific alternative to the 'usual' array of decal offerings.

In this set provides the markings for four aircraft:

  • P-51D-20-NA, 44-64153, 336 FS/4 FG, VF-B, Debden, April 1945, as flown by Major Fred Glover
  • P-51D-20-NA, 44-72308, 'Ridge Runner III', 335 FS/4 FG, WD-A, Debden, April 1945, as flown by Major Pierce McKennon
  • P-51D-5-NA, 44-13303, 336 FS/4 FG, VF-B, Debden, June 1944, as flown by Major James Goodson
  • P-51D-20-NA, 44-72181, 'Sunny VIII', 336 FS/4 FG, VF-S, Debden, Feb 1945, as flown by Colonel Everett Stewart, 4 FG CO

The printing is sharp and nicely registered. The decals are printed on solid decal film, which means you'll have to carefully trim as much clear carrier film from the edges of your decal as practical.

These will look great on the Hasegawa or DML P-51D Mustang kits.

This set is definitely recommended!
