The decals are
contained on 2 decal sheets and contain all the special markings for these
aircraft. You get one set of national insignia and the stencils you
can source from the decal sheet that will come with your model. The
printing quality is first rate and the decals are very crisply
printed. I love the fact you get a mixture of PTO and MTO American
aces all on one decal sheet.
Thanks to Norris
Graser, Carl Molesworth and Mark Proulx for their help on this decal sheet.
This decal sheet is
very timely considering the upcoming release of the 1/32 Tamiya P-51D and this
decal sheet will give modellers some very attractive options for their next 1/32
P-51.
I would like to
thank Zotz
Decals for
providing me with this review sample.
Drop by the Zotz
Decals and pick
up this decal sheet or have a look at their other 1/32 P-521 decal sheets.
