Update of the camouflage of my P40 N-5 CU of the 49th FG, 7 FS – MAUVE model 1/48
Hi all,
Following the information received on a forum concerning the camouflage of the P-40 N with the serial number corresponding to mine (Presence of green spots on the wings and horizontal control surfaces), I reviewed my camouflage. I [...]
1/48 Seversky P-35A.
This is the recent Wolfpack re-issue of the Hobbycraft kit. While it is old, the basic plastic is pretty nice with a few accuracy issues. I remember building the HC P-35 around 1995 and enjoying it, so I thought I’d give this one a go. [...]
RIP My friend Tom Doll, fellow airplane nut and writer
Just heard that Tom Doll has made his last rolling takeoff from the flight deck, headed west.
Tom was an amazing writer, a real lover of naval aviation (go google him at Amazon and see all the books he wrote that you've read at one time or [...]
"Jinx 13" P-40K 25th FS, 51st. FG, Assam Valley India 1944, Vista 1/72.
I've been wanting to do this scheme ever since i saw it Squadrons P-40 In Action book. Awhile back there was debates going on whether it was an accurate scheme or not, the general thought was that it was not and that it was probably in the [...]

Canadian Tomahawk, 1/48 Airfix
Have been modeling for 30 years and this is the first P-40 I have built. Not sure why, as I have always been a big fan since I saw “The Flying Tigers” as a kid. Really enjoyed building this kit, and it is one of Airfix’s better [...]
Curtiss P-40 N 5 CU – 49th FG. – 7 th FS. – Model MAUVE 1/48
Hi all,
Here is a model that I finished about 20 years ago. It is the P-40 N from Mauve at 1/48. It did not please me much anymore because I found it sad on its base so I decided to redo this base.
At the same time I made some additions of [...]

Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1
I do enjoy building other subjects than P-40's especially when an actual person can be associated with a model. This is my rendition of Cpt. Edward"Bud" Shaw's Corsair when he served with VMF-213 with the Cactus Air Force on [...]
