Starfighter Decals 1/72 Curtiss P-6E

Finally! We're now seeing more and more released to support Between
the Wars aircraft ('tweeners). First was Yellow Wings releasing their
decals and now Starfighter has been answering our prayers as well. First
releases from them in 1/72nd were for the SBC-4 Helldiver and the Boeing
F4B-4. Excellent choices for the first round. Now, they're moving on to
USAAC aircraft, the first being this sheet to support not only the Monogram
and Accurate Miniatures kit, but
also the Olimp
kit that came out a few years ago.
There
are four aircraft catered for on this sheet, all but one having a blue
fuselage with the yellow/orange flying surfaces:
-
P-6E 32-221 of the 33rd Pursuit Squadron (PS), 1938
-
P-6E 32-298 of the 94th PS, 1936
- P-6E 32-261 of the 36th PS, 1936
- P-6E 32-241 of the 94th PS, 1934 (the only one with an olive-drab
fuselage)
All decals are in register and extremely well done. However, keep in
mind these are ALPS-printer generated so extra care will need to be taken
with them. Even so, these are most welcomed decals and there is one aspect
I'm extremely happy with - no decals for the 17th PS!!! Yee haw!!
