Well, turns out I do have one last P-40…

by Tom Cleaver on July 11, 2014 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

This is the Trumpeter P-40B, done as Erik Shilling's recon bird he flew on the first Allied offensive mission of the Pacific War, the recon flight to Bangkok on December 10, 1941. I first met Erik in the summer of 1977, when airshow pilot [...]

Monogram 1/48 Focke Wulf 190A-2…

by Robert Bausch on July 10, 2014 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

This is a model I built quite some time ago, but I thought I would throw it into the iModeler brewing pot in case it might interest a couple of folks. But, it is not a P-40! It’s from the old Monogram FW 190A-7 (?) kit that could be [...]

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 [...]

by Emeterio de la Iglesia Blanco on July 10, 2014 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

Hello everybody, after a long time here is the last one I've finished! It is the model That I was awarded with on the April best of show model. It is a great model, but it took me some extra time, because I added some detail in the cockpit [...]

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 [...]

One more time…. the Mauve 48th scale P-40N

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...

Another P-40 – Trumpeter 1/48 Curtiss 81-A2 Warhawk

by Rick Wilkes on July 9, 2014 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

I finished this about 2 years ago, using the Kits World decals for "Tex" Hill's aircraft, & Gator Masks for the camouflage. I rebuilt the cockpit to the proper depth using a combination of kit parts, True Details [...]

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 [...]
