Scale: 1/48 Decal Set Number: 48-1058 Please Note: This is a new decal set in mint condition produced by MicrorScale Decals. It includes black and white instructions. These decals are recommended for any B-17F model kit. Description: This decal sheet includes markings for 2 early-war B-17Fs. Both of these aircraft are in the Olive Drab over Neutral Grey scheme. First up is “The Hunting Club” from the 360 BS. It is unusual in that the artwork is on the fin, a rather unlikely spot. You’ll note that the individual aircraft number is repeated here as well. The other is “Red Ass” from the 358 BS, and though the name is not painted on this aircraft, it has a nice mule kicking something on both sides of the nose. The sheet includes enough insignia and data markings to do one of these two aircraft.
