Nice one...I have this decal sheet and am still undecided on which kit to use it with....will probably go for the mauve/eduard kit....

How so? Eduard does that a lot, they rebox academy's P-47 and P-39 and some Zveda kits and out in lots of tasty bits of their own making...best of both worlds I would say
