Tamiya 1/48 F-51D Korea-will these decals work? (1 Viewer)

I have this kit coming this week, have had these Red Tail decals for a few years. Will they work for this kit?

Should for the last two. Make sure not to add the rockets though.

You will need to check the propellers in the kit compared to what was used in the last two options. If that's not an issue with you, I would go with the Hamilton Standard version in Step #9

Yeah forgot about the prop, but it should still do you fine. After market props can be had.

Nice but which is which ? You have a choice of 5 canopies.

Props look un cuffed? On all?

Serial numbers will tell you whether it was built in Inglewood or Dallas, a start

Thanks for the info, the Tamiya 1/48 Red Tail P-51D shows cuffed propeller and "normal" canopy D5 which would be Inglewood I guess. I think that sorts it out pretty much for me.
