It didn't take long and Tally Ho! is here with more Kittyhawk decals. This time with sheet Kittyhawk III. Part One for P-40K and P-40M versions (1/48 scale sells under # 48 035 and 1/72 scale under # 72 041).

This sheet gives you 4 choices - RAF, RAAF, SAAF and RNZAF.

1. Kittyhawk III. (P-40M) - FR 817 - GL O "Lady Godiva" No.5 Squadron SAAF, Italy 1945 with great nose art - stork carrying a bomb.

2. Kittyhawk III. (P-40M) - FR 813 - LD :  Flown by F/Lt. D.H. Clarke, flight "B" Commander, 250 "Sudan" Squadron belong to 239 Wing of 211 Group RAF, Desert Air Force, El Assa, Tunisia 1943. Personal emblem of D.H. Clarke a "Saint" on port side under windshield.

3. Kittyhawk III. (P-40 K-15-CU), 42-10325  FE A "Dangerous Beast" which served with 14 and 15 Sqdn. of RNZAF carrying very interesting "kill" markings with one British and three Japanese flags under the cockpit (British flag represents several mid-air collisions with allies aircraft in New Zealand).

4. Kittyhawk III. (P-40M) A29-359  MP A "Jen 1" probably the personal aircraft of Sqdn/Ldr. Stan Galton, 86 Squadron RAAF, Holland New Guinea, April 1944. Aircraft carries Stan's wife name "Jen" on both sides of  the engine panels.

There is also a set of masking tapes for those who prefer to paint the national insignia roundels directly.

Yet another great decal sheet. My samples are again in perfect register with nose art printed very fine as usual standard for this manufacturer.

Tally Ho! decals are available from Squadron.com and Roll Models.

Thanks for reviewed samples goes to Kamil Meluzin - Tally Ho!
