This new decal
sheet from Starfighter
Decals includes
markings for 6 different P-36s with the 16th Pursuit Group and 24th, 29th, and
43rd Pursuit Squadrons. These aircraft are all from the 1939-1940 pre-war
time period in the Panama Canal Zone. National Insignia for 2 aircraft.
Protection of
the Panama Canal Zone took on
a heightened level of importance as the dark clouds of WW2 began to form.
Special
thanks goes to Mike Lampros and Mark Tutton.

schemes with their bright colors and red and white striped tails are a treat to behold.
This is a very nice decal sheet and sure to please 1/48 modelers with a passion
in these colorful pre-war Canal Zone American planes.
I would like to
thank Starfighter
Decals for
providing me with this product sample.
