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,

Aftermarket decals available on eBay with the skull markings:

In 1/144th from PrintScale 144-006

SuperScale 72-862

PrintScale 72-023

Aeromaster 48-150B

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:

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?
