About product

311th Fighter Group Mustangs in 1:72

This decal sheet belongs to the subjects that are not seen at every show. While the European squadrons are worked over again and again, the American units committed in Asia stay on the sidelines, although they flew the same well-known type and their aircraft carried striking markings. The set contains the markings; the model itself is obtained separately.

Where the group fought

The unit was formed during the Second World War and operated in the area between Burma, India and China. At first it flew a steeply diving type derived from the fighter, and later it moved on to standard Mustangs. The work consisted of escorting bomber formations, striking transport junctions, bridges and airfields, and supporting ground units over exceptionally demanding terrain. The crews contended with a tropical climate, difficult logistics across mountain ridges and great distances that forced extreme economy with fuel.

How to work with the decals

In the small scale it is above all the smoothness of the surface that decides. Give the area under the decal a gloss coat, lay the decal in lukewarm water for only a few seconds and let it slide into place off the backing paper. Over engraved panel lines use a decal softener so that the film settles into the detail, and finally unify everything with a matte coat.

Who the set is for

  • anyone interested in American air power away from the European battlefield
  • collectors of markings for the widespread fighter types
  • modelers who want a fresh subject for a club show

How many aircraft and variants the set covers does not follow from the name, and it is not stated here.

FAQ

No. You are buying the markings alone; the plastic model has to be obtained separately.

It operated in the Asian area between Burma, India and China, where it escorted bombers and attacked ground targets.

The exact number cannot be read from the name, so it is not stated here. It is usually printed on the box and in the enclosed instructions.

Yes, as long as you keep a gloss surface underneath and do not rush. The small format is strict with tiny elements.
