The 2004 IPMS USA National Convention decal sheet featured a number of subjects including a P-51D Mustang from the 3525th TW.

P-51D-30-NT 45-11608 was overall natural metal with gold and black chequers on the fin, wingtips, horizonal tail tips and the main landing gear doors. A large gold stripe (outlined in black) was carried on the fuselage with "FF-608" superimposed and the aircraft also carried a black spinner with a gold stripe and a gold canopy frame.

The instructions provide a four view of the aircraft and a history of the aircraft's pilot. The decals are on a single A5 sheet in perfect register and the gold is provided as true metallic decal, with the white of the stars 'n' bars being sufficiently opaque.
