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 Mediterranean, Pacifc, and CBI theaters during World War II. This set provides a nice selection of colorful nose art and camouflage schemes, and in the case of 'Baby Blue Eyes', this set provides variations of markings for four different times between 1944-45..
