The quality of these decals is
very good. The decals themselves are clearly printed and in
perfect register. Some decals come in 2 layers to ensure perfect
registration. The instructions include 4 view profiles of each
aircraft as well as a separate sheet showing all stencil placement.
This P-51 Mustang
decal sheet offers 4 very colorful examples of this legendary American
fighter. Each plane on this decal sheet was flown by an Ace (as you can see by
all the kill markings on these 4 Mustangs) and each one has some very distinct
and unique markings. Lifelike decals has done a wonderful job selecting 4
Mustangs to begin their series of P-51 decals.
