P-40 F Warhawk
Finally a good Quality kit, its a 1/48 from Hobby Craft, good decals and great fit. I did extensive research to find a version with desert camouflage that has a generous "shark mouth" which I made drawing by hands free, no decals this time. I was very pleased with the results ... Enjoy ...
Nice P-40...no worries with decal wrinkles there, huh? Outstanding free-hand paint work. Looks like a very extensive collection there, too.
Yes Craig, no wrinkles this time... Thank you, It has a few years of modeling in this display , whenever possible I will post my work.
Looking forward to some pics of your past work.
Very nice and a great collection as well. Looks like the AMT mold.
Nice build and fine hand painted teeth sir.
I like the stands, are they custom built per plane?
Well done sir.
Thanks Simon. The stands are the same for all planes or cars ... But need to be refreshed from time to time ...
Nice looking P-40 - although not considered one of the better aircraft, it is one of my favorites - just such an icon of WWII. I also love the desert camo scheme and plan to finish my second P-40 in that one (I had to do the Flying Tigers for the first one of course!).
I love the P-40 looking too! Shark mouth is a must, looks that plane was designed to wear shark mouths from the factory...
I'm amazed Hasegawa didn't do an F in their series. The nose contours are probably what keeps them from doing so, it is subtly different.
Yours looks really fine. A P-40 without a sharkmouth is somehow missing something, huh? Not discounting the parrothead, skull, yellow tiger, etc.
Nice sharkmouth, done the same way they did theirs. Each one is/was different.
We just put one on the A-7 we have at the museum, which just got painted by the paint crew. They had a guy put a BIG decal sharkmouth on ours, and it worked! I missed the application, but it looks good.
Bernard you got the idea. If they hand painted the nose art, so let's paint too!
