First Look
Lifelike Decals from Japan turns out some colorful and nicely printed subjects. In this set, we have the first of a new series of B-24 Liberator nose art sets sized to work with either the Hasegawa or Academy kits. The decals are quite nicely done as you can see and provide some interesting subjects.
This set provides markings for four aircraft:
- P-47D-30-RE, 44-33087, 514 FS/408 FG, Hendorf AB, Germany, 1945, 'Bloom's Tomb'
- P-47D-4-RA, 42-22762, 63 FS/56 FG, Halesworth AB, UK, 1944, 'Tinkle'
- P-47D-28-RE, 42-29173, 510 FS/405 FG, Dizler AB, France, 1944, 'Rain-Dear'
As you can see in the decal images and profiles, this set provides some distinctive color schemes. If you want to dress up your next 1/72 B-24 kit, this is the set you've been waiting for.
You can purchase these decals directly from Lifelike Decals. My sincere thanks to Lifelike Decals for this review sample!
