Decal Review
This sheet offers markings for the following options:
1. Kittyhawk Mk I, AK961, F/Sgt Lloyd Boardman, No.3 Squadron RAAF, North Africa 1942
2. P-40E, 2nd Lt Robert 'Mac' McMahon, 33rd PS (Prov.), Darwin 1942
3. P-40E, Capt. B.S. Irvin, 9th FS, 49th FG, Darwin 1942
4. P-40E, ET600, Lt A.J. Reynolds, 9th FS, 49th FG, Darwin 1942
5. P-40E, Lt. Bob Vaught, 9th FS, 49th FG, Darwin 1942
6. P-40E, Capt. George E. Kiser, 8th FS, 49th FG, Darwin 1942
7. P-40E, Capt. Charles C. Johnson, 8th FS, 49th FG, Darwin 1942
8. P-40E, Lt. George Preddy, 9th FS, 49th FG, Darwin 1942
9. P-40E, A29-78, F/O C.W. Lindeman, No.76 Sq. RAAF, New Guinea 1942
There are three sheets of decals in this set, one offers the early style USAAC roundels and 'U.S. Army', the other RAF roundels, nose art and other unique markings and the third RAAF roundels and all the white names, numbers, codes etc.
Conclusion
The decals are superb, perfect print and colour and nice and glossy with very little carrier; it just makes you want to go and build all the options! This is therefore highly recommended to anyone with a P-40E to build.
