1:72 Curtiss Kittyhawk Mk.IV Pacific battlefield RAAF part III

Curtiss Kittyhawk Mk.IV – the Pacific, RAAF, part III, 1:72 (Art Scale)

A sheet of wet transfer decals in 1:72 scale from Art Scale. It brings markings for Curtiss Kittyhawk Mk.IV fighters of the Royal Australian Air Force from the fighting in the Pacific. This is not an airplane model but a set of color schemes for Curtiss Kittyhawk Mk.IV models in 1:72 scale.

The real subject

The Kittyhawk Mk.IV is the British and Commonwealth designation for the late version of the American Curtiss P-40 fighter (it corresponds to the P-40N line). Australian squadrons used these machines as fighter-bombers against Japanese targets on the islands of the southwest Pacific. The set offers several specific aircraft from this battlefield.

Application

• Coat the base with smooth gloss clear so that the decals do not silver
• Cut the decal out, dip it in lukewarm water for a few seconds and slide it off the backing
• Settle it into a decal softener, soak up the excess water and seal it with clear once dry

Who the set is for

• Builders of late Kittyhawk fighters in 1:72 scale
• Anyone interested in the fighting in the Pacific and in the service of Australian squadrons
• Modelers looking for markings beyond those in the basic box

The airplane model itself is not included in the package. Decals are not a kit.
