Otaki 1/48th P-40

by AL HOFFMAN on July 10, 2014 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

You P-40 builders have no one to blame but yourselves for this dog being shown. I was feeling left out. It was pulled out of my graveyard. It was built when the kit was first released so you tell me how long ago that was. Brush painted [...]

1/48 Hobbycraft Curtiss P-40B Warhawk, PTO, USAAC

by Chuck A. Villanueva on July 10, 2014 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

This is my contribution for this little mini unofficial P-40 group build. This is my first P-40 that I picked up at a show in Ct. back in the mid 90's. One of a few early P-40 kits to come along. I built this around 98-99 or so before I [...]

by Jack Mugan on July 9, 2014 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

The third time is a charm. I could not pass up the opportunity to do a P-40 in a natural metal finish either.

Deja Vu all over again....49th FG P-40N

by Bill Koppos on July 9, 2014 · in Uncategorized · 7 ≡

Saw Ralph's model, and said hey that looks familiar. This is the Hasegawa 1/48 version, decals came from an aftermarket sheet, sorry I don't recall the maker. They do look sweet in NMF too bad the P-40Q didn't catch on...

The Mack “Hoover Dam ” Dump Truck and Marion Steam Shovel, 1931

by Mike Maynard on July 9, 2014 · in Uncategorized · 9 ≡

I'm not really a truck or car modeler, but once in a while I like to build something different. I've always been a fan of construction equipment, especially older, cable operated excavators. There's not much in the way of steam shovel kits [...]

About the 50th P-40 here lately!

by Ralph Clements on July 8, 2014 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

As soon as I started building this Italeri 1/48 P-40N it seems like they started coming out of the woodwork on Imodeler - which is fine with me, I love seeing everyone's different takes on this classic, a favorite of mine. In my first post [...]
