You've no-doubt seen the great P-40E released by AMtech followed by the same kit with a new resin nose to render the early Merlin-powered P-40F. If you've acquired a few of these kits (and it is hard not to) then here are five additional marking options for your Warhawk:

  • P-40F, 65 FS/57 FG, Sicily, Sept 43
  • P-40F, 87 FS/79 FG, Tunisia, 1943 as flown by Lt Charles Jastow
  • P-40L, 99 FS, 79 FG, Italy, 1944 as flown by Lt Charles Bailey
  • P-40F, 68 FS/347 FG, Guadalcanal, 1943
  • P-40F, G.C. II/5, French AF, Tunisia, 1943 as flown by Cdt Rozanoff

These decals are printed by Three Guys Replicas (TGR). The printing is perfectly in register. The instructions providing excellent color references as well as decal placement information. If you haven't acquired one of these kits, fear not - AMtech has released the P-40F resin nose and decals now as a separate detail set. Check out our review under detail sets.
