This sheet includes markings for “The Outlaw,” a B-29-25-MO of the 28th Bomb Squadron, 19th Bomb Group, as flown from Kadena AFB Okinawa in 1951.  The stunning nose art is a representation of the famous shot of actress Jane Russell in Howard Hughes’ controversial western, “The Outlaw.”  The decals also include all the individual and group markings for the airplane, including the “UNITED STATES AIR FORCE” and “USAF” markings.

 The modeler should very definitely read the instructions that are included regarding how to apply the PYN-up decals, since their production makes them very different from the standard decals everyone is familiar with.  Cutting Edge strongly recommends that no decal solvent other than Micro-Sol or Micro-Set be used on these decals.

For insignia, you'll need CED48-270

 Only 300 copies of this decal sheet will be produced.

Editor's Note. In my set, a Black Magic Mask for the number '42' was included with no indication on just what it was for.
