AML 1:144 Decals AMERICAN FLYING TIGERS OVER CHINA - PART I
This AML decal set in 1/144 scale is dedicated to accurately recreating historical markings for combat aircraft. It enables the application of authentic insignia and details onto models representing American Volunteer Group (AVG) aircraft, famously known as the "Flying Tigers", who operated in the Chinese theater of war during World War II. This set is "Part I" of the collection, offering a curated selection of markings for specific aircraft and pilots.
Key Product Features:
1/144 Scale: Perfectly suited for smaller aircraft model kits, providing high detail with a precise fit.
Authentic Markings: The set includes faithfully reproduced markings for selected P-40 Warhawk aircraft and other types used by the American Flying Tigers. It enables accurate recreation of the historical appearance of combat aircraft that fought in the China region.
Print Precision: The decals feature high resolution and sharp details, which minimizes pixilation and ensures crisp edges and vibrant colors.
Thematic Scope: Designed for World War II fighter aircraft models, especially those related to the China campaign and AVG operations.
Application and Compatibility:
These decals are primarily designed to enhance and historically authenticate 1/144 scale plastic aircraft models. The product is compatible with models from various manufacturers, including popular P-40 Warhawk fighter kits. Application requires standard modeling tools, such as a hobby knife, tweezers, and decal application and setting solutions (e.g., decal softener and setter), to ensure ideal adhesion to irregular surfaces and minimize the "silvering" effect.
Materials and Quality:
The decals are printed on an ultra-thin carrier film, which contributes to their excellent conformity to the model's surface details and facilitates seamless integration with the base paint scheme. High-quality printing technology ensures color fastness and resistance to typical chemical agents used in modeling, such as acrylic or enamel varnishes.
Suggested Paint Colors for Flying Tigers Aircraft Models (Examples, typical for P-40):
Upper surfaces: Dark Earth and Dark Green – consistent with RAF camouflage schemes.
Lower surfaces: Neutral Grey or Light Blue/Sky Grey.
