Print Scale 72-323 Decal Curtiss P-40 C/CU Part 2 Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-323 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft models of the Curtiss P-40 C and CU series. This decal set provides additional historically researched marking options for early P-40 variants operated during the initial phase of World War II.

The Curtiss P-40 was widely used by United States Army Air Corps units and by the American Volunteer Group in the China–Burma–India theater. The markings included in this Part 2 release reflect aircraft operated during 1941–1942, covering both US-based and overseas service contexts without emphasis on combat outcomes.

The decals are printed on thin carrier film to ensure accurate placement on early P-40 airframes with relatively simple camouflage schemes and prominent individual markings. This set is compatible with any 1:72 scale plastic model kit representing the Curtiss P-40B or P-40C and is recommended for advanced modelers due to the number of marking options and detailed nose artwork.
