For decals, I used
Zotz decals (ZTZ32/042) for P-51D-10-NA, 44-14570, flown by Capt. Ted E
Lines, of the 335th FS 4th Fighter Group. I also used a complete
decal sheet of stencils from Fundekals and BarracudaCals cockpit stencils
and placards.
I chose this Mustang partly for the
cool nose art but also because it was very dirty, which I love to try and
replicate in my builds.
