I'm very happy to announce that the first release under Kagero Decals label is available!

Posted Image

The Red Series will cover the most attractive and colourful aircraft, usually adorned with nose art. Three planes included in each decal sheet will be presented and described in 8 page, full-colour guidebooks illustrated by our best profile artists. The decal sets (all printed by Cartograf) will provide individual and national markings for all schemes.

“Pacific Mustangs Part 1” contains 3 striking schemes from the Pacific Theater of Operations:

- P-51D-25-NA s/n 44-72671, ‘The Enchantress’, flown by 2nd Lt. William Saks of 457th FS / 506th FG, Iwo Jima, June 1945

These look great. Oddly enough, I have several Kagero books and have never used one single decal from those books. I know they're printed well though. I'd like to also see more Pacific mustangs, perhaps some with the blue striped tails.

Welcome aboard.
I have basically all aviation related Kagero publications and just love your profiles and drawings.

Thank you guys.

Regarding the next part of Pacific Mustangs, I'm looking for more photos of machines with sexy art - this is the main reason of my interest in Allied planes ;)

You really can't go wrong with this Osprey book.

Wow, fantastic. I was planning on using the operation Bodenplatte booklet decals for the new Tamiya P-51's. Now this!
Great subject.

Can you give a 'ballpark' time frame when the 2nd series will be available?
