Curtiss P-40 Warhawk (Kittyhawk)

1/48 Hobbycraft P-40

Standing alone, the Hobbycraft version doesn't look bad. Sitting next to all the other P-40's on my shelf, doesn't improve the looks. The landing gear is the give away. It could stand to be raised about an 1/8th of an inch. The tail [...]

1/48 Monogram P-40

Back to basics. Straight out-of-box. I think this one has been around as long as the "Flying Tigers" themselves ! When I finally got around to building it, I discovered it wasn't a bad kit at all, for it's day. They're [...]

Nostalgia flights @ Chino

Here's some photos taken with the Planes of Fame P-40N and P-51D back in 2004. A hazy southern California summer's day (but far better than back in the 1970s, when the smog was so bad in the Inland Empire I had to fly directly over Chino [...]

iModeler Review: Dana Bell “P-40 Warhawk”

God of Research Dana Bell presents the most detailed and useful book about the early P-40 - the P-40, P-40B and P-40C - available for modelers. And just in time! If I told you more I'd have to shoot you, but in the foreseeable future [...]

1/48 Otaki P-40E War Hawk

An old, pleasant, OOB build. Nothing special or extraordinary. The paint, as usual, is de-canned Krylon mixed. An affordable way to go.

Remembering General Robert Scott

Several years ago I stopped at the Warner Robbins Museum in Georgia and had the opportunity to meet General Robert Scott. I had read his book God Is My Co-Pilot while in my teens and this was a very special moment for me. Of all the models [...]

Hasegawa 1/32 P-40K

I searched for this kit at a certain price and every place I looked it was way out of reach for me. It was when I took a moderate vacation off to go see my son in Chicago t5hat I found a little hobby shop that was out of the way in a [...]

RNZAF Kittyhawk III

Done from the 1/32 Hasegawa P-40M/Kittyhawk III kit. Kit decals, Eduard seat belts. Flight Sergeant Lyn William Williams didn't have to go to war. The family had been farmers in New Zealand since 1841, and he had just inherited the [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 P-40E Warhawk

Hello out there, New around here so I thought I might post some of my work. This particular kit was built around the time I returned to the hobby so I learned quite a bit. As I recall the fit was tough in places. The fuselage is molded in [...]

AMT 1:48 scale P-40F, "Warhawk"

Another P-40 model, and this one is NOT built OOB like the previous builds. The basic kit isn't bad, but it isn't one of those, "I gotta build it" kits like Hasegawa or Tamiya. However, I you want to build an 'F' or an 'L' model [...]
