Illustrations were created by Andrzej Sadlo and Janusz Swiatlon. All depicted aircraft carried attractive nose art. None of these marking options have previously been reproduced in decals. The decals included in the sheet allow for replicating the appearance of the P-51D ‘501’ and P-40N ‘47’ in different periods of their service, in accordance with available reference material. Our instruction sheets include photos of all depicted aircraft, some of which you may have never seen before. This set is available directly from the manufacturer:

As previously, the decal sheets are printed by industry leader, Cartograf of Italy, which ensures top printing quality and ease of application. These are complemented by instructions that differ from the plain market standard. What you get are essentially high quality posters with accurate and inspiring illustrations. Each subject is presented on an A4-sized sheet, with large side aircraft profiles printed on the front, and the remaining artwork, reference photos and all necessary information laid out on the rear side. This way you not only get some cool decals for your model kit, but also attractive posters to adorn your man cave, at the same time!
