1/32 GWH P-40B Tomahawk "Turkish Air Force"
This is my recently finished 1/32 Great Wall Hobby's P-40B with TuAF markings .
These Tomahawks were Ex-RAF Tomahawks from Middle East stocks.
They were re-painted in Turkey by using RAF fighter paints.
Cockpit modified by using Eduard instrument panels and RAF seatbelts. I found the RAF gunsight from an old Hasegawa Spitfire in my spare box and used it.
Main wheels are from Barracudacast
Paints are Gunze Sangyo acrylics.
National insignias are painted by masking
Star and Crescent on the rudder is from Turquoise decal
"White 3" decal is from Customhobbydecals.
Happy modelling
A fantastic P-40, Tolga!
As always, your job is superlative!
Thanks a lot Spiros @fiveten
Another beauty, Tolga...
Thanks Gary @gwskat
Great work on the GWH kit, Tolgur, but I’m a little confused about the colour; you say “it’s been repainted in Turkey”, ha ha, only joking, hope you have a sense of humour.
🙂
Thanks George @chinesegeorge
I wrote that because these Tomahawks came from the RAF's ME stocks as a desert scheme. And here they were repainted with RAF paints.
Great looking P-40 Tolga.
Thanks Mark @gelleb18
A fine looking Tomahawk, Tolga @tolgaul
I was not aware that also the Turkish used this aircraft.
As always, your eye to detail, painting and weathering is superb.
Thanks John @johnb
Yes Turkey got 42 Tomahawks from RAF ME stocks in 1942
Excellent build! I have a few extra "B's", now I know what to do with one of them...
Thanks Greg @gkittinger
Excellent result, that's a fine looking B model!
Thanks Chas @chasbunch
Awesome P-40, Tolga. You've done an outstanding job. Did you build the engine and place it on the stand? That could be a whole study in weathering by itself.
Thanks Clint @curtisshawk
No I didn't build the engine
