1/48 Pro-Modeler P-40E Warhawk.
I believe this kit was a re-pop of a Hasagawa kit, but I could be wrong. Started some time ago but lost interest so it sat for six months. Finally finished her and is another three foot model added to my collection of P-40’s. Not a bad kit, fit and detail was nice and I had no real issues building it. For paint I used Model Master enamels. I did add an Ultracast British seat with Sutton hardness and also used their wheels. Nylon thread depicts the antenna, and used come pastel chalks to dirtier her up a bit. Decals were an AVI Print set depicting a Kittyhawk with the 450th Sqn, RAAF in North Africa,1943.
