This new decal
sheet from Starfighter
Decals includes
markings for 4 different Boeing P-12E and each one has artwork. The Boeing
P-12 was used by the US from 1930 to the mid 1930's when it was phased out and
replaced by the Boeing P-26 and the P-12's were relegated to mechanics training
schools. Brazil was the last to fly the P-12 and they retired the last of
their P-12's in 1949. Total production was 586 aircraft.
You get
national insignia and stencils for 1 aircraft and markings for 4 different
aircraft in colorful pre-war schemes.
Special
thanks goes to Dave Ostrowski and Mike Lampros.

are beautifully printed by Cartograf on 1 decal sheet. I'm impressed to
see such a nice variety of P-12 and all with artwork.
This is a very nice decal sheet and sure to please 1/32 modelers with a passion
for these colorful pre-war American planes.
I would like to
thank Starfighter
Decals for
providing me with this review sample.
