This new decal
sheet includes markings for 4 P-40N's, one with sexy noseart on both sides of
the nose. All 4 aircraft include noseart of some sort. More than one
aircraft on this decal sheet was flown by an Ace and all these aircraft flew
against the Japanese in the PTO during WW2. And of course no P-40 decal
sheet is really complete without at least 1 aircraft with a sharks mouth on it
to accentuate the intake below the prop spinner.

The 2 pages of
instructions are clear and include 1 and sometimes 2 color views of each
aircraft. The decals are printed on 1 decal sheet on the 1/48 sample
before me. The recommended kit in 1/48 is the Eduard P-40N kit and in 1/32
this decal sheet recommends using the Hasegawa P-40N kit.
As many of you know,
I have a passion for noseart and I continue to be amazed at the selection of
aircraft from WW2 that sported nose art. This decal sheet is full of
noseart......and more than one of them just begs to be built.
You can order this
decal sheet from the Zotz
Decals.
