This new decal sheet
from Barracudacals
includes markings
for 3 different P-47 Thunderbolts with noseart that served in the European
theater of Operations during WW2. The
3 aircraft are all 8th
Air Force P-47's from 1944 and are in the olive drab scheme with neutral gray
undersides.

"Bosie Bee" Ser No. 42-7890, 334th FS, 4th FG, 8th Air Force based
at Debden, England in January 1944. This aircraft was flown by Lt Duane

"Wela Kahoe" Ser No. 41-6538, 334th FS, 4th FG, 8th Air Force
based at Debden, England in January 1944. This aircraft was shared by
Capt Bill Hollander and Capt Stanley Anderson.
-
P-47D
"Dallas Blonde" 319th FS, 325th FG, 8th Air Force based at Lesina,
Italy in early 1944. This aircraft was flown by LT. Don Kearns.
The instructions are clear and
include 3 views of each aircraft. The decals are beautifully printed on 1
decal sheet with 2 insert decal sheets. The 4 pages of instructions include
all the information regarding painting and fading and weathering on these
aircraft. The 4th page of the instruction sheets includes stencil
placement and instruction to install decals like a master modeler. These
P-47s helped liberate Europe and it's good to see them available in decal form.
