A-36 Apache Fighter Kit SUPER DECAL SHEET
The A-36 Apache was the ground-attack and dive bomber version
developed on the first batches of the famous fighter North American P-51
Mustang. The “Apache” was used by several U.S Air Force Squadrons during
the last stages of North African campaign, during the invasion of Sicily and
the campaign of Italy. Thanks to Its powerful V12 engine, with 1,325 HP,
A-36 was able to reach a maximum speed of 600 Km/h. Armed with 6 Browning M2
0.5 machine guns, the A-36 Apache was able to load, in its two under wings hard
points, up to 1,000 lb. of bombs. The dive breaks and the reinforced wing
structures gave the A-36 a great stability and a great efficiency and precision
in ground-attack missions. However, by mid of 1944, the A-36 were replaced, to
perform ground-attack operating duties, by the more modern and more powerful
Republic P-47 Thunderbolts.
