Kits-World Decals 1/32 P-40F Warhawk Decal First Look

By Michael Benolkin

Date of Review July 2012 Manufacturer Kits-World Decals
Subject P-40F Warhawk Scale 1/32
Set Number 132038 Skill Level Basic
MSRP (BP) £10.20

First Look

Kits-World is a very prolific decal company based in the United Kingdom that produces a wide range of nose art subjects in a wide range of scales. They tend to limit their releases to two subjects per release so they can provide more information and good resources for the modeler.

P-40F P-40F

In this release, we have two sets of markings for the P-40F Warhawk as it appeared in North Africa with the 79th Fighter Group. The two subjects in this release are:

  • P-40F, X44, 86 FS/79 FG, North Africa, 1943, 'Butterfly Girl'
  • P-40F, X26, 85 FS/79 FG, North Africa, 1943, 'High Kicker'

Take a look at those decals. These are really nicely printed and the clear decal film is thin so these will work nicely on painted or bare metal surfaces. The instructions provide you with left and right side images for placement of the distinctive markings and these sets assume you will use the national markings and airframe stenciling out of the kit so they can focus their resources on providing some interesting subjects.

You can purchase these decals from a number of online retailers or directly from Kits-World Decals.

My sincere thanks to Kits-World Decals for this review sample!
