This latest release
from Lifelike
Decals decal sheet
features 4 different P-51's. This is Part 2 of a series dealing with
the P-51's including noseart of some sort on all 4 of these aircraft.
The
4 aircraft include are all in bare metal. American
P-51's from WW2 established themselves as the fighter that went all the way to
Germany with the American bombers. The P-51 like most American fighter
aircraft were adorned with colorful markings and paint schemes to help them
stand out as the numbers of Allied fighters began to dominate the skies over
occupied Europe.

good quality although the tiny 1/48 stencils were not as clear as I usually see

suggest not using the stencils on this decal sheet.
