Amt 1/48 P40N
A quick easy build after my Special Hobby Fiat Br20. Amt 1/48 P-40N-20 Cleopatra 111 flown by Wing Commander G Atherton 80 Squadron RAAF Noemfoor July 1944.
Very simple build. I almost didn’t post cause it’s nothing special but I enjoyed it, and it’s another addition to my countries RAAF/RAN collection.

You got my attention right away with the words P-40 !!!!
Well done and I like it……………. These AMT P-40’s build up into some respectable looking planes. Plus they are fun to build and will not break the bank when it comes time for a purchase. They can often be found for a bargain price at swap meets and shows…………….
Your N model looks fantastic. They’re just so cool looking in this paint scheme.

Thanks mate. It’s about my 7th P-40. I can’t get enough of them either. Lol.

Nice job Paul, just completed two AMT P-40N’s myself and posted them here. As you state they’re quick and easy to build, therefore they can be fun. P-40’s always look good with a white tail and your’s turned out very well.

Looks great! I think I built one of these AMT P-40’s back before my conversion to 1/72… It wasn’t as colorful as yours though.
