Large Scale Planes is a well-known, high quality website that is devoted to, not surprisingly, large scale aircraft models. You can visit the site by following this link.

LSP has introduced a fine quality decal sheet depicting schemes for two P47D Thunderbolts of the United States Air Force.

The decals are designed for the new Hasegawa or Trumpeter 1/32 scale kits.

The decals are superbly printed with good colour saturation and excellent register. The carrier film is ultra thin these decals will have to be handled carefully and snuggle down into the surface detail well. The carrier film then almost totally disappears under a coat of clear. Also included is a set of dry rub decals as an alternative to using the wet application decals. The dry rub decals will rub down well and will conform to the surface details well.
