Great story. And a subject that never seems to go 'out of fashion.'
I always liked the desert P-40's, this one a stunner.
Nice work...I like it. 🙂
Nice P-40, its always a good idea to post Hawks here.
Lovely little Kittyhawk.
Can't go wrong with a P-40 in any guise.
Great looking model P.k. Thank you for posting.
