The latest release from Mike Grant Decals features four postwar P-51D schemes: two colourful options from the Indiana Air National Guard, a Chinese aircraft flown by Captain Hsu Chi-Hiang, and an unusual F-51D flown by the Republic of Haiti in 1963. Full colour instructions are provided. The decals have been designed to fit the new tool 1/72 Airfix F-51D (A02047) but will fit most 1/72 P-51D kits with only minor adjustments.

The model shown is the new-tool Airfix kit finished in the Haitian markings from the sheet. This aircraft carried two F-86 drop tanks, which for the model were taken from a Special Hobby Sabre kit. Other modifications were the fixed tailwheel and various antenna. Quickboost resin seat and exhausts were also used.

You can buy this decal sheet directly from Mike Grant Decals.
