TGarthConnelly Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Hi. Are there any decal sheets out there which would match the topic title? Thank you, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobmig Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 No shark mouths, but perhaps something here will interest you: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghodges Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 I don't know how often you get to shows, but vendors areas might have some older decals that have what you're looking for. I know one of Microscale's first releases in 1/72 was a sheet of AVG P-40s, though that sheet is very hard to find today. However, 45yrs and several thousand decal sheets later, they (as Superscale) have re-released those markings on several different sheets over the years. Shark mouth P-40s are one of THE most wanted schemes across the span of modeling history, and there are plenty of decals out there, even unused kit markings (the 1/72 Academy P-40B comes to mind). The only kink in the system is what is currently in print and easily available. You might try putting a "decals Wanted" ad here and on Hyperscale's "plane trading" forum. Some 1/72 builder should be able to help you. As for me, I'm strictly a builder of 1/48 and larger.... Good luck, hope this helps! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Here's link to a page of images I found by Googling 1/72 P-4oB shark mouths. You'll have to click onto an individual image to see better if it's for 1/72 or not, as the results also include "other (1/48, etc) stuff, especially the farther down you scroll. https://www.google.com/search?q=1/72+Shark+Mouth+P-40B+decals&biw=1580&bih=758&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiyjYLh7fzJAhUDwmMKHWjrDVMQsAQIGw GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGarthConnelly Posted December 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Hi Ya Gil, I might do the Pearl Harbor P-40Bs. Those two guys were/are heroes to me. What do you think of this sheet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
