First Look
Lifelike Decals from Japan turns out some colorful and nicely printed subjects. In this set, we have a selection of colorful B-25 Mitchells from the 38th Bomb Group deployed to the South Pacific during World War II. This set offers several B-25 types and one B-25 from each of the 38th BG's four squadrons plus one assigned to the group with interesting group artwork on the nose.
The subjects include:
- B-25C, 41-12905, 405 BS/38 BG, 'Tokyo Sleeper'
- B-25J, 43-27957, 823 BS/38 BG, 'Bugs Bunny'
- B-25J, 43-26145, 71 BS/38 BG, 'Estrallita'
- B-25J, 44-29284, 822 BS/38 BG
- B-25D, 41-30597, 38 BG, 'Hardships 2nd'
This set is printed by Microscale Decals and you can see the artwork is sharp and in great register. The decals are sized for the Airfix 1/72 B-25C/D and the Hasegawa B-25J kits.
You can purchase these decals directly from Lifelike Decals. My sincere thanks to Lifelike Decals for this review sample!
