Zotz Decals latest in its line of fine quality decal sheets covers the P-51B Mustang in the European Theatre of Operations. These decals have been designed for the new Trumpeter kit in 1/32 scale.

The decals are superbly printed with good colour saturation and excellent register.  As usual the carrier film is ultra thin and my experience with Zotz decals that I have used in the past is that the decals have to be handled carefully and snuggle down into the surface detail well.  I always use decal setting solution but this is not necessary.  The carrier film then almost totally disappears under a coat of clear.The instruction sheet is in full colour and contains the set contains marking for three aircraft as follows:
