First Look
FCM Decals has an interesting line of aftermarket decals from Brazil. The subjects covered in this line include many Brazilian civil and military aircraft subjects, WWI aircraft, and the occasional look at the aircraft of other nations as well.
In this set, we have an interesting and colorful set of Brazilian P-47D Thunderbolts plus a Royal New Zealand AF example:
- P-47D, 44-19660, 1°/9° G.Av., Italy, 1945
- P-47D, 42-26762, 1°/9° G.Av., Italy, 1945
- P-47D, 42-26780, 1°/9° G.Av., Italy, 1945
- P-47D, 42-26786, 1°/9° G.Av., Italy, 1945
- P-47D, 42-26779, 1°/9° G.Av., Italy, 1945
- P-47D, KL-849, 261 Sqn, FJ-G, RNZAF, 1945
The printing of the FCM Decals line is sharp and clear, with the markings printed on a heavier carrier film that responds well to film softeners like Solvaset. The decal set includes complete stenciling, windows, doors and other essential details.
