This
new release from
Barracudacals
provides
markings for three P-47D Thunderbolts. Each of these aircraft includes
noseart including one with sexy noseart.
The
decals are printed by Cartograf, and are very thin with minimal clear film and
perfectly in register. You get one complete set of stencils.

The
instructions are clear and includes all necessary views to assist painting and
decal placement. The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet with
2 smaller insert decal sheets. The 4 pages of instructions also include
black and white line drawings for stencil placement. There
are also step by step notes on proper decal placement included in the
instruction sheets.
The P-47 was a very successful
fighter during WW2 in the ETO and it sported many variations of paint schemes
and markings as well as noseart. This decal sheet honours 3 different
Thunderbolts that serve in the ETO during WW2. I love the noseart on these.
