Hasegawa 1/48 scale P-40N
I decided to write this one a little more in-depth than my previous posts. Not a full-blown review by any means, but just a little more “color.” I hope this is an improvement over my previous few posts!
Here is Hasegawa’s 1/48 [...]
P-40E Aleutian Tiger
I built this a while ago but thought it would be good for my first iModeler post.
This aircraft is from the 343rd FG, 11th FS in the Aleutians 1942. I thought this was different in that there were no blue surrounds on the national [...]
Building my collection of General Scott's aircraft
I am well into building a collection of General Robert Scott's aircraft. He is probably the only aviation icon I have met in person, so this has been my motivation to start this project. All will be in 48th scale.
P40 Kittyhawk MkIII
This is the Italeri kit done a while back, i think this was the first kit i used my new Rosie the riveter tool on, the rest is pretty much out of the box not really any vices to report i had to freshen up some of the panel lines on the [...]
Airfix Hawk 81-A-2 in 1/72nd.
Built straight OOB. Good value for money, with good fit overall. There is a mistake in the decal sheet: the woman figure should be facing towards the cockpit, i.e. backwards on the starboard side. I only noticed this in the reference [...]
Kittyhawk Mk.III, 1/32 Hasegawa kit by Tony Prince.
Finished yesterday; this is Hasegawa's 1/32 scale P-40M kit, built as a Kittyhawk Mk. III serving with 112 Sqn. RAF in Italy. Essentially OOB except for seat belts, aerial wire & hydraulic lines. Thanks to Tom Cleaver for a heads up on [...]
P-40N flown by Lt. Jack A. Fenimaore, 7th FS, 49th FG
I have no further information on Lt. Fenimore but he must have been a good guy because of the name and painting he put on his aircraft.
Again,the kit is from Mauve and I found it to be very good. OOB it is good but if one wanted to go hog [...]

Legato 1/72 Curtiss P-40E Warhawk, Tamiya 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb Trop, Revell 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc.
Just a few desert camo RAF aircraft. All oob builds, the Legato P-40 kit was hard work but turned out ok and has a good shape, the Tamiya kit as usual was a dream and the keenly priced Revell kit fitted together really well, happy enough [...]
Coulda been a contender-Trumpeter’s so close 1/32 P-40B….
So close...it almost looks like a P-40B. That beautiful, pointed-nosed Curtiss fighter, the best looking of the line, and bearer of the "Sharkmouth" to perfection. BUT something is wrong here, looked at from the front low, it's [...]
