Airfix P-40B in 1/48
Being a veteran of two Monogram P-40s, one by Trumpeter & another by Academy, I really looked forward to the Airfix offering. There were few issues & none that couldn't be corrected easily, although the spinner nearly defeated me - [...]
Review: Airfix 1/48th P-40B Warhawk Build Review, Part 2
After having had a look at what is in the box in part 1 ((link)), it is time to actually start building this thing. And we all know how this goes, right?

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-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 [...]

1:72 Airfix P-40
Another of Airfix's newer offerings that goes together well. Although I've finished it as the same aircraft on the box art I have substituted Airfix's decals with ones from Kits World. In the end I used decals from both Kits World and the [...]
Icelandic P-40C in 1/72
I started the Airfix 1/72 Hawk 81A-2 about the time it hit the U.S. shores (December 2012!), planning to build an RCAF Tomahawk. I had it all together by mid-month... and then it sat... and sat. AMS got the better of me and I couldn't [...]
