Hasegawa 1/32 P-40E Warhawk
Hasegawa's big Warhawk kit has a similar mold style like other recent Hasegawa 1/32 scale aircraft. The models capture well the outlines of the aircraft. Surface textures are finely recessed, but the details are sparse and are sketchy for the scale. Aftermarket products are required to complement the existing details, particularly in the cockpit. Moreover, in the P-40 there are plenty of joints representing false panel lines. The fit of parts is very good. However, the false panel lines require careful filling. Since the flaps are partially ribbed, I scratch built the reset of the structure and lowered the flaps. In addition, I cut off the ailerons and horizontal stabilizers for added realism.
One of Hasegawa's best and you got the most out of it.
Thank you, Tom!
Fantastic finish! Got to see a P40 fly for the first time last month. Great aircraft
Thank you, Neill,
Lucky you!
Very inspirational, Rafi. I don’t do a lot of 1/32 but I do have the Hasegawa P-40K in the stash.
Thank you, John.
Enjoy.
Excellent result on the big Hasegawa Warhawk, Rafi!
