Curtiss Kittyhawk Mk.III Pacific battlefield RAAF part IV, 1/72 - Art Scale Kit 200-D72009

The reference Art Scale Kit 200-D72009 is a 1/72 decal sheet designed to decorate scale models of the Curtiss Kittyhawk Mk.III of the Royal Australian Air Force in the Pacific theatre.

This sheet includes four RAAF decorations matching aircraft used at Bougainville, from the Piva North airfield, between 1943 and 1945:

• Kittyhawk Mk.III A29-451 « L », No. 84 Squadron, Piva North, late 1943 ;
• Kittyhawk Mk.III A29-480, No. 5 Squadron, Piva North, September 1945 ;
• Kittyhawk Mk.III A29-495, No. 5 Squadron, Piva North, September 1945 ;
• Kittyhawk Mk.III A29-412, No. 5 Squadron, Piva North, September 1945.

The Curtiss Kittyhawk was one of the British and Commonwealth designations given to versions of the American Curtiss P-40 fighter. Within the RAAF, it was used in the Pacific War during the Second World War.

This reference lets you customize a 1/72 scale aircraft with documented Australian markings. Preparing a smooth, glossy surface before applying the decals makes their application easier, and then a finishing clear coat helps blend their appearance with the paint and weathering.

The plastic kit is not included.
