First Look
Lifelike Decals from Japan turns out some colorful and nicely printed subjects. In this set, we have three distinctive P-47 Thunderbolts that will definitely compliment either the Hasegawa or Tamiya 1/48 P-47 kits. All three of these subjects are from the famed 354 Fighter Group.
This decal set provides markings for three aircraft:
- P-47D-30-RA, 44-20514, 355 FS/354 FG, GQ-U, Dec 1944, 'Wee Speck'
- P-47D-30-RA, 44-20490, 356 FS/354 FG, AJ-K, Dec 1944, 'The Mad Pole'
- P-47D-28-RA, 42-29180, 353 FS/354 FG, FT-J, Dec 1944, 'Polly'
As you can see in the decal image, 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!
