Historical Information
Shark-mouth and shark-teeth markings became some of the most recognizable forms of military aircraft nose art during World War II. Their use varied widely by unit, theater, and aircraft type, and individual designs could differ significantly in shape, size, color, and placement.
 
These markings were especially associated with fighter and attack aircraft, where the aircraft's nose shape provided a natural location for a stylized mouth or teeth design. Exact application should be matched to period photographs when modeling a specific aircraft or unit.
