Nobby Clarke Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) I have a 1/48 Tamiya P-51B that I plan to build as an RAF Mustang Mk.III with Malcolm hood, although since I haven't actually built this kit yet I could just as easily build it with the standard P-51B cockpit canopy (the Tamiya kit provides both options). However, it must be an RAF or Commonwealth air forces bird. I'm looking for recommendations for after market RAF decals. I also have the option of buying a set of used original Tamiya Mustang Mk.III decals, but I have read these are very thick. Edited February 10, 2021 by Nobby Clarke Added details.

dnl42 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Techmod 48002 Mustang III has markings for 4 aircraft ftom 315 Squadron (Polish). I built that kit using those decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby Clarke Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 How was your experience using the Techmod decals? I read a post on BM that said their decals are very delicate, came off the paper in 5 seconds and ripped on application. But this could have been just a bad experience or a bad sheet of decals.

Not had those issues when I used a Techmod set. But mine were a bit transparent, whites and yellows especially (this was a Bf 109 set). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobby Clarke Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 dnl42, that's a really nice build. The Techmod decals look great. Do all the stencils come with the Techmod sheet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
