First Look
Lifelike Decals from Japan turns out some colorful and nicely printed subjects. In this set, we have four distinctive P-51 Mustangs that will definitely compliment either the Hasegawa or Tamiya 1/48 P-51D kits or the Hasegawa P-51K.
This decal set provides markings for four aircraft:
- P-51D-15-NA, 44-15459, 308 FS/31 FG, HL-B, Nov 1944, 'American Beauty'
- P-51D-10-NA, 44-14733, 370 FS/359 FG, CS-L, Mar 1945, 'Daddy's Girl'
- P-51D-10-NA, 44-14570, 335 FS/4 FG, WD-D, Nov 1944, 'Thunder Bird'
- P-51K-10-NT, 42-12017, Deputy CO/348 FG, Aug 1945, 'Mrs. Bonnie'
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!
