1/32 P-47 Decals?

Microscale had some early 1/32 sheets of the P-47. IIRC, Superscale took them over. Sheet 32-005 had Gentile's VF-P, VF-W and VF-D from the

4th FG. Sheets 32-013 and 32-014 were checkerboards for the nost & tail respectively. Sheets 32-023 had some checker-nose from the 79FG and 32-024 had checkered tails from the 325BG(?). Sheet 32-121 had some razorbacks flown by Maj Robert Johnson from the 56th FG (Didn't he write "God is My Co-pilot?" IIRC, he died very recently.) You'll probably have to buy them on eBay but I'd guess you can still find them. I don't know about other manufacturers. HTH.

Well Superscale did a set with four Razorbacks from 4th FG in Debden and FMC does a set that includes a Brazilian Bubbletop. Both looks neet and I will do the Brazilian bubbletop, US Razorback and probably a RAF SEAC Bubble.

Different "Robert". Robert Scott, not Robert Johnson, wrote the book.

Cheers,

Craig,

A list of all 1/32 P-47D decals I'm aware of is appended below. The Micro Scale / Super Scale sheets are out of production but not terribly difficult to find. The FCM and Techmod sheets are still available IIRC. Dunno about the Yarma sheet.
