Print Scale 72-023 Decal Curtiss P-40 Kittehawk Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-023 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft models representing the Curtiss P-40 Kittyhawk, a single-engine fighter widely operated by Allied air forces during the Second World War. This decal set provides researched markings suitable for plastic model kits depicting multiple P-40 variants used across different operational theatres.

The Curtiss P-40 served with numerous Allied units from 1941 onward and appeared in a wide range of configurations and camouflage schemes. Variants of the P-40 were operated in the Pacific, Mediterranean, China–Burma–India region, and other areas, reflecting the aircraft’s adaptability and long service life. This diversity of markings makes the P-40 a well-documented and popular subject for WWII aircraft modeling.

This decal set is intended for modelers focusing on WWII Allied fighter aircraft and accurate unit-level markings. The decals are printed on thin carrier film to support precise application on the P-40’s fuselage, wings, and tail surfaces. The set is compatible with any 1:72 scale Curtiss P-40 Kittyhawk plastic model kit and is recommended for advanced modelers due to the variety of variants and marking layouts included.
