Amtech 1/48 P-40M Kittyhawk Mk.III
The venerable Ertl kit re boxed by AMtech depicting an iconic 112 Sq. aircraft that was the first to use the shark teeth emblem in North Africa.
AmTech 1/48 P-40L
A very nice kit by AmTech with resin nose depicting an aircraft serving in the 99th FS, 79th FG "tuskegee airmen" in Italy during 1944. The aircraft was piloted by 1st Lt. Herman "Ace" Lawson.
Here is a comment that I [...]
1/48 “Huckebein”
Wanted to see if I could build something over a long weekend, we’ll see! 😃
P-40 Warhawks
These two 1/48 P-40s were kindly sent to me as a gift from Bob Torres @v1pro . Bob also sent along some extra AMtech decal sheets with these two kits. I’ve been working on them off and on for several months. Warmer weather recently paid [...]
The 'easiest' model?
A good question, but a subjective one. One could say it is a pre-prepared die cast, where one would simply screw two halves of some already finished sub-pieces together. The next stage might be a snap-tight model, where the pieces just [...]
AMTECH P-40L-5, Long tail
Amtech P-40L-5 of the 79th Fighter Group in Mediterranean Theater markings ca late 1943, most likely in Sicily. I like the USAAF aircraft in the RAF-style camo (Dark Earth, Midstone, Azure), and British fin flash obscuring the serial [...]
1/48 AMtech Ta-183 Huckebein – “The Troublesome Raven”
A lot of us styrene addicts have purchased models with the intention of building them right away that end up sitting on the stash shelf for years - even decades. That’s been my relationship with AMtech’s Ta-183 Huckebein, the one and [...]
Battle of Kasserine Pass GB, Amtech 1/48 scale P-40 L-5 CU, long tail version, “Lighthouse Louie” 325th Fighter Group “Checkertail Clan”, North Africa
Here is another one of the planes I built for the Kasserine Pass Group Build.
Again I wish to thank David Thomas for starting and hosting the Kasserine Pass Group Build. His untiring efforts have helped this GB become the success it is. [...]
AMTech 1/48 P-40K/Kittyhawk III
This is the AMTech P-40K "big tail" which was essentially the AMT P-40E kit with a resin rear fuselage and fin. I used a True Details P-40E/N cockpit. The decals are from an early Aeromaster sheet.
The airplane is a KittyHawk [...]
AMTech P-40F-15 Warhawk
The AMTech (ex-AMT) P-40F with the resin corrected nose AMTech provided in their kit to fix the wrong nose the kit had. I don't remember whose resin cockpit this is, but the decals were by Aeromaster. The scheme is the "early desert [...]
