Second
part of the great Curtiss P-40E (Kittyhawk Mk. I A) subject. The
Kittyhawk & Warhawk Part Two from Tally Ho! comes in 1/72 scale
(number 72 040) and in 1/48 scale (number 48 034). You can choose again
from five aircraft - this time one is from North Africa, one from
British Columbia, one from Aleutians and two from Northern Australia.
Kittyhawk Mk.I A - ET 953 - CV V : personal aircraft of Wing Commander Robert H.M. Gibbes, 3 Sqdn. RAAF, August - September 1942, Egypt, North Africa. Kittyhawk Mk. I A - AK 905 - LZ D : 111 Sqdn.

Kittyhawk Mk. I A - 1053 - K : another RCAF aircraft - this time from 14 Sqdn. located at Amchitka, Alaska. Great sharkmouth nose art.
Curtiss P-40E - white "14" - "Mary Lucille" : flown by 2/Lt. Joseph H. King with 7th FS, 49th FG USAAF, Batchelor Field, Northern Territory, Australia 1942.
Curtiss P-40E - white "85" - "Tarheel" : 9th FS, 49th FG USAAF, Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia 1942. Well detailed nose art (starboard side only) of colorful dragon was used on deveral aircraft of 9th FS, 49th FG.
All the national insignias and propeller stencils included, as well as English summary of the instruction sheet. The sheet also includes masks for letters C and V and for roundels.
This sheet follows usual high quality standard. My samples are in perfect register (nose arts as well as all roundels).
Kittyhawk III. Part One with RAF, RAAF, SAAF and RNZAF aircraft is comming soon...
Tally Ho! decals are available from Squadron.com and Roll Models Inc.
Thank you again Tally Ho! for reviewed samples.
