P-40 'Hawks' - more of 'em!

I have now completed all of the most recent consignment of F-Toys aircraft. To start off, here are the three P-40 Hawks.
US P-40E 'Jerry2' of the 18th Pursuit Squadron.  A rare example of a model P-40 without 'sharks teeth' markings...
The underside of 'Jerry 2'
Another US P-40, this time from 8 Fighter Squadron.
P-40 Kittyhawk of the RAF's 112 Squadron.
All of the current batch awaiting their individual photo shoots.

One of the P-40 kits awaiting construction.  Not a big job!

  1. The more I see these Tim, the more I like of them.

    I have a Me109 to rebuild and paint, but never seem to get around to doing it.

    I am always looking for excuses for this but now the Fatherland really needs it.

    Great eye candy post!

    I thought that lot would get you drooling on your keyboard! Bf-109 coming soon! Is this 'Aircraft Week?'

  3. Is this 'Aircraft Week?' Don't know but, you got me looking hard at these 4 F4U Corsairs I've had in their original boxes since 1982!
    144th scale Academy kits I picked up in Korea for a 100 won a piece
    (about $0.18 US at the time)

    Think it's really boat week thanks to Bob C!

    I built a pair of ancient Revell Corsairs last year - possibly the same tooling?

    Despite not being the war's greatest fighter, the P-40 does seem to have quite a following!
