This is a very nice sheet and one that is a downsizing of several 1/32 sheets on the P-40B. Kits available in this scale are from Hobbycraft and Monogram. Both are not perfect, but will have to do until something better comes along.

First up is #49 of Tom Haywood of the 3rd PS of the AVG. It has had a new fuselage marking applied. The old marking, which has mostly peeled away (they were decals), is also provided.

#48 is 'Tex' Hill's mount of the 2nd PS, again, with the AVG.

Charles Bond flew #5 with the 1st PS so that allows you to do one of each of the AVG's three squadrons.

The fourth plane in the group is from the 35 PS/8 PG in New York during 1941.

The sheet includes both regular and faded Chinese markings. The faded markings should go on the upper wing surfaces.
