Subject North American P-51 Mustang Part 2 Scale 1/32
Set Number 32015 Skill Level Basic
MSRP (USD) TBA

First Look

Lifelike Decals from Japan turns out some colorful and nicely printed subjects. In this set, we have four distinctive Mustangs, two for Tamiya's recent 1/32 P-51D and two for Trumpeter or Revell 1/32 P-51B Mustang kits. As usual, these decals are nicely printed and very colorful in their subject selections. This decal set provides markings for four aircraft:

P-51D P-51DP-51D

  • P-51B-15-NA, 42-106924, 334 FS/4 FG, QP-L, 'Salem Representative', as flown by Lt Ralph Hofer
  • P-51D-5-NA, 44-14059, 381 FS/363 FG, B3-Y, 'Skyczar', as flown by Capt Fred Munder Jr
  • P-51B-10-NA, 42-106647, 382 FS/363 FG, C3-D, 'Big Mac Junior', as flown by Capt John Brown Jr
  • P-51D-20-NA, 44-72322, 402 FS/370 FG, E6-A, 'Nancy Lee', as flown by Lt Richard Baggett

As you can see in the decal images, this set comes complete with a full set of national markings, distinctive unit markings, and a wealth of maintenance stencils. If you're looking for a colorful alternative that isn't from the mainstream Superscale/Eagle Strike/Aeromaster line-up, here is a nice way to be different!

You can purchase these decals directly from Lifelike Decals. My sincere thanks to Lifelike Decals for this review sample!
