Spada Decals
Curtiss Hawk H75

If you haven't visited Spada Decals' website recently, prepared to be blown away by all of the decal subjects they've produced in the last year or so. What's more, the quality is excellent, the price is very reasonable, and the subjects covered provide a terrific alternative to the 'usual' array of decal offerings.

In this set provides the markings for three Curtiss Hawks in international service. You can use the nice Special Hobby P-36A (look here) or convert the Trumpeter P-40B into a P-36 using Cutting Edge's beautiful conversion (look here).

The three aircraft provided in this set are:

• Mohawk Mk.IV, AR628/2527, 6 Sqn, South African Air Force, Swartkop, Pretoria, South Africa, 1942
• Mohawk Mk.IV, BS796, 5 Sqn, RAF, Dinjan, India, 1942
• Mohawk Mk.IV, 482, XY-C, Mohawk Sqn, Portuguese AF, Ota, Portugal, 1943

The printing is sharp and nicely registered. The decals are printed on solid decal film, which means you'll have to carefully trim as much clear carrier film from the edges of your decal as practical.

This set is definitely recommended!
