Review: Ventura Decals Australian Curtiss P-40N's and Eisenhower's two seat P-51B 1/48

Title: Ventura Decals Australian Curtiss P-40N's and Eisenhower's two seat P-51B 1/48

Description: This decal sheet from Ventura Decals contains markings for two RAAF P-40N's and General Eisenhower's two seat P-51B in 1/48 scale.


Included in this decal set are brief notes relating to the aircraft featured and coloured profiles.


The decal themselves appear to be thin with minimal carrier film. The decal sheet contains national markings( for one of the two RAAF P-40's - only), artwork, serial numbers and squadron codes.

 

The  first of two RAAF P-40N's featured in this decal sheet is for an aircraft named 
" Hep Cat" from 75 Sqn based at Morotai 1945 and flown by Squadron leader C.Tolhurst.


The second option is for an aircraft flown by Pilot Officer K.Donald from 76 Squadron in June 1945.

 

The third aircraft featured on this decal sheet  named " The Stars look Down" is for a two seat P-51B as used by General Eisenhower during the Normandy landings on D-Day 1944.

 

As can be seen from the above image, there are no national markings for the P-51B. But this shouldn't pose too much of an issue as the stars 'n' bars can be sourced from the host kit or the spares box.
