If any one has some decals for a P-40N from the 89th F.S. with the big white skull let me know what I can do to ricky doo you of of them.
 
Hi,

You didn't state a scale. The big skull was used by both the 88th and 89th Fighter Squadrons of the 80th Fighter Group. There are plenty of decals on eBay with them in both 72nd and 48th scales. Also, there is Butter Bean III, a P-47D which wore the big skull after the 89th FS transitioned to the Thundebolt:

PM me and I can point out the eBay links and also which are the most accurate decals.

Regards,

In my stash I also have some sheets from Cutting Edge but the best researched decals, by far since they show the correct asymmetry of the markings, are from Fundekals:

Click for Burma Banshees web site.

I sure do thank you guys very much for all the help and Saul got the ones just right. However, I was able to source the 32 scale ones from some place else and they will be on their way.

Again, Thanks

Ah, you never mentioned scale. I would have helped with spares if 1/48th but I don't have any P-40 kits in the larger scale.

Did you get the Fundekals one?
