This latest release
from Lifelike
Decals decal sheet
features three different P-47's. This is Part 3 of a series dealing
with the P-47's including 2 with sexy noseart.
The
3 aircraft include one in olive drab and 2 in bare metal. American
P-47's from WW2 were well known for noseart and colorful markings to help them
stand out as the numbers of Allied fighters began to dominate the skies over
occupied Europe.

The quality of these decals is of good
quality although the tiny 1/72 stencils were not as clear as I usually see from
Lifelike
Decals, so I would
suggest not using the stencils on this decal sheet.
