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. This set addresses a camouflaged Razorback and two bare metal Bubbletops.
This decal set provides markings for three aircraft:
- P-47D-30-RA, 44-33087, 514 FS/406 FG, O7-R, 'Blooms Tomb'
- P-47D-4-RA, 42-22762, 63 FS/56 FG, UN-S, 'Tinkle'
- P-47D-28-RA, 42-29173, 510 FS/405 FG, 2Z-V, 'Rain-Dear'
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!
