Another 1/144 scale aircraft now. Recently I was lucky enough to pick up on Ebay no less than four P-40 Tomahawks. These are Wing Club models which come pre-painted but in need of assembly. All were in the colour scheme of the 'Flying Tigers' - a US volunteer unit which served in China against the Japanese during late 1941 and early 1942. So far I have only built one, so here it is.

love the old P-40!
ReplyDeleteMy view of the P-40 has been conditioned (predictably) by building the old Airfix 'Kittyhawk'. A eries 1 kit in grey plastic which I remember seeming unneccessarily complicated compared to a Bf-109 or Hurricane. I expect that was just me.
