First Look
Lifelike Decals from Japan turns out some colorful and nicely printed subjects. In this set, we have four distinctive North American P-51 Mustang examples designed for the 1/48 Tamiya kits. As usual, these decals are nicely printed and very colorful in their subject selections. This decal set provides markings for four aircraft:
- P-51B-5-NA, 43-6913, 336 FS/4 FG, VF-T, Debden, UK, 1944, 'Shangri-La' as flown by Capt Dominic S. Gentile
- P-51D-30-NA, 44-75025, War Bond Tour, Wright-Patterson Field, 1945, 'Shangri-La' as flown by Capt Dominic S. Gentile
- P-51D-10-NA, 44-14292, Deputy CO 4 FG, QP-A, Debden, UK, 1944, 'Man O War' as flown by Lt Col Claiborne H. Kinnard
- P-51D-15-NA, 44-15103, CO 348 FG, 100, Luzon AB, 1945, 'Dirty Dick' as flown by Col Robert R. Rowland
As you can see in the decal images, this set comes complete with a full set of national markings, distinctive unit markings, and basic airframe stenciling. You can purchase these decals directly from Lifelike Decals. My sincere thanks to Lifelike Decals for this review sample!
