This new decal sheet from Leading Edge Models includes markings for numerous P-51's with the RCAF from the Eastern and MB Canada Squadrons including 402 Winnipeg, 420 London, 424 Hamilton and CJATC Rivers, Manitoba.  With the additional individual serial numbers, you can build a good selection of aircraft from these squadrons.  The decal sheets includes images and line drawings for 9 different aircraft.

This decal sheet is also available in 1/32 and 1/72 scale.

The colour instructions are clear if you ponder them carefully and are loaded with much detail and helpful info including past and present history on the aircraft featured on this decal sheet.  

The decals are beautifully printed on 2 decal sheets and 2 smaller decal sheets.  Three complete set of stencils is included on this decal sheet.  Also included is a resin antenna for the top of the fuselage behind the cockpit.

I am pleased to see decals for these prop driven aircraft, I hope to see more prop driven Canadian aircraft decals from Leading Edge Models in the future.  It's great to see a decal sheet that covers the post war bare metal RCAF Mustangs....this sheet nicely compliments the first decal sheet in this series that covered the Western Canadian Squadron RCAF Mustangs.

I would like to thank Leading Edge Models for providing me with this product sample.

You can buy this decal sheet directly from the Leading Edge Models website.
