Does anyone know of any company other than Pyn-Up Decals that is making a sheet for Richard Bong’s “Marge” P-38J?
Mike,
Though not a set of decals per se, but Revell’s 1/48 P-38 includes Bong’s markings. That’s the only other idea I have. Hope that helps!
Thanks Frank. Too bad Revell’s decals suck. [(-D]
I guess I will just have to pay the $20 for the Pyn-Up decal sheet if I want to build his plane.
I may just go with an olive drab P-38 instead. [;)]
Yeah, too bad. I would also hate to get the plane all dressed up in a beautiful NMF and have the decals ruin it!
You would think Super Scale or one of the other big decal companies would be producing this decal sheet. Bong was a recipient of the Medal of Honor and the top ace of WWII.
I would think this decal sheet would be in high demand.
It is in high demand, that’s WHY it’s $20!
Gee, never thought I would have to explain commerce to an American! [:-,] [:-^] [:D]
Funny this aircraft subject came up. I am planning a trip up the EAA Museum on Thursday where they have a P-38J painted up in Richard Bong’s markings.
No, it is $20 because it is a limited run by a small company!
All of Pyn-Up’s decals are expensive for that reason.
I’m just giving you a hard time, Mike.
If you willing to settle on the Revell decals, I’ve got that kit in the stash, and I wasn’t going to use the Bong decals. PM me your addy and I’ll send them to you.
Bill
