1:48 P-51D-5 Mustang stencils

P-51D-5 Mustang stencils 1:48 (Eduard)

This decal set in 1:48 scale holds a complete set of small technical markings — the so-called stencils — for models of the P-51D Mustang fighter. It is not a model of an aircraft nor the large national insignia, but sheets with maintenance, warning and service labels that give the model scale fidelity and an authentic look.

What the set is for

The stencils cover inscriptions such as the markings of the fuel and oil fillers, warning texts near the weapons and the moving surfaces, service instructions and maintenance marks. These small inscriptions are everywhere on the real aircraft and adding them markedly raises the realism of the finished model. The set is made for models of the P-51D Mustang fighter in forty-eighth scale.

Application tips

• Apply the decals onto a smooth gloss coat, which prevents silvering under the film
• Use a decal softener for perfect adhesion to the surface and the engraved lines
• Once dry, seal them with a matte or satin coat to match the overall finish

Who the set is for

• Modelers who want to add realistic technical markings
• Builders of P-51D Mustang fighters in 1:48 scale
• Those interested in maximum scale fidelity of the finished model

This is an add-on decal set, not a kit. Neither the model of the aircraft nor paints are included in the package.
