Thanks guys, unfortunately that Has kit is 1/72. Don't see any 1/48 on line but any 1/48 kit of the A1-H plus sharkmouth decals (P-40 comes to mind)??? What do you think?
 
Far from it Robert. The Shark Mouth design on the Flying Tigers (AVG: American Volunteer Group) was done after pilots saw a photograph of a P-40 of No. 112 Squadron RAF in North Africa. They in turn had adopted the shark face from German pilots of the Luftwaffe's ZG 76 heavy fighter wing, flying Messerschmitt Bf 110 fighters in Crete.
