References for Modellers #7, Curtiss P-40 B/C Warhawk
Bottom line up front: The title states this is a reference for the Curtiss P-40B/C, but actually, it is a reference for the P-40E with a few photos and color plates for the P-40B/C. The accompanying decals are for a P-40B/C.
The soft-cover booklet is 1-1/2” x 11-3/4” with 24 pages. There are ten black & white aircraft photos, twelve detail photos, six color profiles, a four-view color profile for the aircraft covered in the decals, and twenty-two line drawings of P-40Es and Kittyhawk IAs. The price on the Kagero website is Euro 12.95.
The decals cover a single P-40B/C in both 1/72 and 1/48th scale. They are in good register, the colors are solid and crisp, and the carrier film is thin.
This is not a reference for the P-40B/C, but the detail photos, which show the undercarriage, wheel wells and flying surfaces are applicable to the B/C version. Kagero’s Monograph series which includes the Curtiss P-40 are better reference books. Even though the pictures, drawings and color profiles are good and the decals are excellent, I would not purchase this pamphlet.
