Review: Airfix 1/48th P-40B Warhawk Build Review, Part 1
There have been a couple of attempts at the early P-40 in 48th scale over the years. The old Monogram kit and the Academy one have been around for quite some time. More recent offerings from Trumpeter and Bronco combine state-of-the-art, [...]
1/48 P-40N
This is the old AMT kit from the mid 1990s. All of the AMT P-40s are still solid kits. Each seperate version also has its issues. The cockpits are weak, but the canopies build up well in the closed position. The surface detail is very [...]
1/48 P-40B
This is the latest, and greatest P-40 kit. The brand new Airfix P-40B! What's not to like about this one? I built it out of the box including using the excellent decals provided for Lt. Welch's Pearl Harbor a/c. I mixed the cockpit's [...]

My original intent was to have this P-40 completed by the Anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th. I [...]
1/48 Airfix P-40 Pearl Harbor 75 Years ago 2nd Lt George Welch
Here are some pictures of the build I've been scrambling to get finished. Unfortunately it doesn't look like I'm going to make my deadline that I originally set to have the model completed by. My original plan was to have the plane [...]
Review: Airfix 1/48 P-40B/C Tomahawk II
It was hot on Don Muang Airport outside Bangkok on December 10, 1941, as the humidity increased with the rising tropic sun. The crews of the 60th, 62nd and 98th Sentais sweated to ready the 48 Mitsubishi Ki.21 Type 97 bombers (later to be [...]
