The Curtiss Kittyhawk Mk.IV

The Kittyhawk Mk.IV is a version of the Curtiss P-40N. This American fighter was used by several Allied air forces, including the RAAF, during World War II. The Australian Kittyhawks operated in the Pacific area, a particularly interesting setting for military aviation model projects and advanced terrain dioramas.

Modeling use

Decals are applied to a painted, smooth and clean surface. A glossy or satin finish generally makes them easier to position and helps limit the risk of trapping air under the film. After drying, a coat of varnish can help even out the overall appearance and prepare for weathering or aging steps.
