Product # 48-001 for $16.00

Product Article by Norris Graser on Dec 1 2011

 

This first release from Thundercals includes markings for 2 different P-47D complete with colorful markings that includes sexy noseart.  This is the first time either of these aircraft has been featured on a 1/48 decal sheet.

Included on each:

  • Data and stenciling is included for one aircraft

  • Modeling notes and some info on each plane is included 

  • Masks for the fuselage area on Bouncin Bette *( Interior of the fuselage flashes are metal, outlined with blue.  I decided to not print with the metal color and let the modeler do that himself so as to get a matching shade to the nat. metal finish cowling.)

P-47D razorback Thunderbolts of the PTO Part 1 decal sheet gives you:

  • 2 Tbolts nose art/ offset girls for 58th FG.

  • 19th FS/318th FG; 310th FS/58th FG

 

  • Bouncin Bette- pilot Lt Albert Schaffles . KIA off Rota 

  • Nose art, both sides

  • fuselage flashes in natural metal finish with ANA 501 stripes

  • Masks and directions for use included

 

  • Passionate Patsy pilot Lt Ralph Barnes Jr.

  • Offset printed nose art – 2 options 
      

The offset printed girls for Patsy are so good that you can barely detect ( with magnifiers) the Rosette pattern ( all those little dots) associated with this type of “drop in” decal printing. Cartograf certainly is the best printer for those “hi density shaded” girls. Passionate Patsy  art was created by Mike Kloppenburg who  does the Bombshell decal art.

You can order these decal directly from me at Thundercals@Yahoo.com or ngraser@comcast.net 

I also have  a second decal sheet that features 3 different P-47's (2 which have never been offered in decal form).
