Where are the Korean War F-51D Mustang 1/32 Decals?

Post by speedgraflex »

I am looking for decals! I find it hard to believe that it is just Aims in the U.K. and a long lost Squadron "Eaglestrike" P-51 (odd man out 2/3 are P-51s and one is F-51) set that have any decals in 1/32. This would be for the Monogram F-51 Mustang.... Does this mean 1/32 F-51s are not very popular, then? Am I answering my own question?

Yeah, the AIMS set looks to be the best bet. Korean War subjects are very much a niche subject, and by then the Mustang was old stuff. Perhaps there is some ancient Microscale sheet out there that has Korean War Mustangs in 1/32... :hmm:

There is Bruce always the option to do your own decals .... (and by saying that, I get an deja-vu from earlier :hmm: )
But I believe 100% that you would succeed 100% if making.

Would also be great to have a Bruce-style WIP in Decal making ! :-)

Have you tried Flight Decs? I know they're based out of Canada. Worth a look.

Thank you so much, Carlos, Kari and BlackSheep. I need to research... I keep thinking about 1/32 stencil sets. Mayhap a USAAF stencil set could be adapted to suit the occasion. On top of just finding out more, I sincerely appreciate your thoughts... and if you do have any other ideas, please let me know. Are there any good reference books for Korean War Mustangs?

I believe that Osprey may have done a P-51 Units of the Korean War book. Other than that, most of the generic Air War Korea type books have some Mustang photos.
