Decals has
long established a reputation for releasing decal sheets with plenty of noseart
or colorful paint schemes and this decal sheet is loaded with noseart. The
recommended kit for these decals is the 1/32 Trumpeter P-38J in combination with
the Jerry Rutman P-38H & P-38M conversions if you are building the P-38H
& P-38M aircraft featured on this decal sheet. The P-38M is the 2
seater night fighter version.

The 2 pages of
instructions are clear and include 2 color views of each aircraft. The
decals are printed on 1 decal sheet. The red or green tips on the vertical
tails are provided as decals and whether you choose to use the decals or paint
these areas will be up to each modeler to decals. One of these planes, the
P-38J has 7 kill markings and was flown
by Ace Lt. Allen Hill.
This is a very cool
decal sheet, you're biggest problem will be deciding which one to build first.
You can order this
decal sheet from the Zotz
Decals.
