Just found the decals for that P-38 on the cover of volume 2!

BTW the 'books' themselves are more of a pictoral with detailed captions. Pretty cool, but IMO not worth $25.00 each.

Yeah, I agree they're a bit steep. Checked out the booklet contents over at the sight you found them. As you said, mostly pictorial.

$25 is about average for Osprey books… 
How do these compare?

No where near as much elaboration and detail. Literally pictures with good captions.

I was poking around for magnetos for my next top fuel project. Scored a pair of PRO-TECH printed magnetos and stumbled on this kit which comes with the driver, the dude covering his ears and the christmas tree and a 'wired' distributor and fuel lines
Thanks,
