A new Company producing 1/32, 1/48 and 1/72 decals has made a very welcome entry into the modeling world. Fündekals has hit the ground running with decals on their website covering P-51D, a couple of Spitfires, a P-40 and Radial engine logos.
Fündekals will be looking at individual pilots and or aircraft rather than a whole plethora of markings found on many decal releases. This will keep the prices to you the customer low, which has to be a good thing. Also to keep prices down, instructions are available as a PDF from Fündekals.

Capt. Roscoe C. Brown, Jr.
P-51D-15-NA 44-15569

100th FS 332nd FG 15th AF
Ramitelli, Italy
March 1945
Roscoe C. Brown, Jr graduated from Tuskegee Flight School in March of 1944 and went on to command the 100th Fighter Squadron 332nd Fighter Group. On 24 March 1945 Brown became one of only 15 pilots to shoot down an Me262. A week later he added a Bf109 and destroyed a locomotive while on a fighter sweep near Munich both while flying "Bunnie/Miss Kentucky State".
*National insignias from the kit may be used, or for your 1/32 project they may be found on our fündekals 1/32 P-51D/K Stencil Data sheet.

P-51 D Stencils
Starting from NAA factory drawings, the fündekal P-51D/K stencil data was painstakingly re-created using the original and unique style of lettering seen on the actual aircraft - a first! The sheet includes all of the external stencil markings found on the factory documents, as well as some extra items to bring your 1/32 P-51D/K to life. We've included several highly visible cockpit stencils, meant to compliment the excellent Barracudacals cockpit placard set. Printed by Cartograf!

Squadron Leader Lance Wade, RAF
Spitfire Mk.VIII,

Broaddus, Texas
Spitfire Mk.VIII, JF472
No. 145 Squardon
San Severo, Italy
November 1943
American Lance Wade was a true Yank in the RAF. Near the end of his combat career Squadron Leader "Wildcat" Wade flew a Spitfire VIII with the serial JF472 and the codes ZX-J. Wade made his final claims in ZX-J; 2 Fw190s destroyed on 2 October and 3 more FW.190s damaged on 3 November. Recently, a photo surfaced of JF472 (surrounded by sheep) taken at San Serevo, Italy on 6 November 1943. Some points of interest for the enthusiast include the presence of extended wing tips and the non-standard "J" used for the codes. Also of note is the lack of a S/L pennant beneath the windscreen. Before the year was out Wade was promoted to Wing Commander and appointed to Desert Air Force Staff HQ. However, the appointment was short lived. Wade was killed 12 January 1944 when his Auster crashed on take-off from Foggia.

Katherine Hepburn of the skies!
Spitfire Ixc MH434 AI-A/N3310

1968
When it comes to aircraft on the silver screen MH434 is the leading lady of them all. She has appeared in many movies and television productions. Perhaps her most famous role was that of Squadron Leader "Skipper's" Spitfire from the 1968 film "The Battle of Britain". We've reproduced her markings from the film exactly as they appeared on the big screen, including white codes, slightly off-color roundels, and the over sized Squadron Leader pennant and kills. Topside colors are the typical RAF Dk Earth and Dk Green. However, there has been some debate as to the exact shade of the underside color. There is some evidence that the color on the flying aircraft used in the film was very close to RAF Sky. Pictures of the static and non-flying aircraft used in the film appear to have been finished in a Duck Egg Blue or RLM 76 color. Whichever color you chose be sure to heavily weather the wings. The obvious and heavy cordite streaks behind the shell ejection ports were painted on for the movie! (Don't forget to omit the any signs of cannon from the wings.)

2nd Lt Philip R. Adair
P-40N-5 42-105128

89th FS 80th FG 10th AF
Nagaghuli, India
Early 1944
This is the second Lulu Belle flown by 2nd LT Philip Adair (the first being a P-40N-1) which he flew with the 80th FG during the first half of 1944. Of note are the red spinner which indicates the 89th FS and the red surround national insignia still present well in to 1944. Although the Burma Banshees were largely employed in the fighter-bomber roll at this time it is likely that Adair was flying this Lulu Belle when he shot down 2 Oscars on 17 May 1944. The following month Adair's squadron transitioned to the P-47 which sent 42-105128 to the 90th FS which were still flying P-40s.

Radial engine logos
This sheet contains a famous radial engine logos accurate for any F4F, F6F, F4U, or P-47 just to name a few! They are scaled from an actual 1/1 scale enamelled brass logo from a real engine. They'll add that last little bit of realism to your model in a highly visible location right up front. You get a total of 88 logos in scales including 1/72 (20 logos), 1/48 (30 logos), 1/32 (20 logos), 1/24 (10 logos), and 1/18 (8 logos).
