Airfix 1/48 Curtiss Tomahawk Mk.II, 112 Squadron, Libya, 1941
Hi all,
Finally I finished another model, I'm just not such a quick builder mainly caused by lack of time.
This build is the Curtiss Tomahawk Mk.II from Airfix (A05133) and represents the No. 112 squadron of the RAF in Libya 1941.

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 [...]
Airfix 1/72 Tomahawk IIb – Quick Build Experiment

Airfix 1/48 Curtis H81-A3 (P-40B Tomahawk)
This is a nice kit but my problems started when I decided to put the Aires cockpit in it. It was not that great of an improvement to the kit parts and it was too wide. I sealed the fuselage and inserted it as a unit up through the wing [...]
1:48 Scale, Airfix P-40B, “Tomahawk”
Terrific model, excellent build, and one I would recommend absolutely.
