Default Decals for 1/5 scale P-51 Big Beautiful Doll


I'm building the TF GS p-51, but it came with decals for a theme I'm not building. Specifically, I'm trying to find a set of decals for the Big Beautiful Doll. I suspect TF has them, but actually since I'm going with all paint (possible issue with solvent paint and those vinyl stickers), etc. I was wondering if there were better quality decals out there.. maybe with the smaller stencils being rub-on for example?

Thanks,
Russ

I'm not trying to spin you up but our last war bird fly in had 4 Big Beautiful Dolls. Since you are building the airplane, how about something more unique? Get stencils.com for paint masks.

Thanks Dan, looks like they have some stuff I can use. I think I would want to use rub-ons for the smaller stenciling, maybe from GetStencils. I've even looked at some ways of creating my own, but of course there is always the issue of not being able to print white.

Simco, Yes you are right that this particular scheme is all over. Strangely, however, there are only one or two people that fly at my field that have a p-51 in this scheme and actually one of those planes "passed away" earlier in the summer. When I started this plane (a year or so ago) I bought quite a bit of docs for it so I might as well use them. Also, since the p-51 is my favorite plane, I have at-least a couple more of them lined up to be built, so those I plan on doing something different with. This is my first attempt at going as scale as possible so I figured I wouldn't have many problems finding as much detail as I wanted for this particular p-51.

Thanks,
Russ

Russ,

We GetStencils.com can make printed vinyl graphics as well as dry transfer nomenclature. Also, we have the artwork for Big Beautiful Doll.
