I am looking for 1/48 scale Doolittle Raiders decals, particularly of "The Ruptured Duck".

Are there any in production? And if so, who would make them?

Thanks in advance,


Chip

The first thing that came to mind when I read your post was Accurate Miniatures 1/48 B-25, which came with decals for all 16 of the Doolittle Raiders. I don't know if they would sell them separately, and not sure who manufactured them for AccMin., but the decals do exist.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Chip,
I have one these B-25 Accurate Miniature kits. The kit is still factory sealed, but I can take some pitures of the boxart. If my memory serves me right, it's the duck decals with this kit. I'll know for certain when I get back home tomorrow evening. PM me if you would be interested in buying the kit.

I do believe the old revel boxing had all 16 sets on the decal sheet.

The AM kit has all sixteen sets of markings so you can build any of them you like. I have three sets all together. I only plan to use two. Make me an offer, if you don't purchase the kit from Penny.
