My original intent was to have this P-40 completed by the Anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th. I [...]
Due to the recent P-40 profile posting I dusted one off. This one was built back when the Hasegawa 1/48 "Special edition" K came out. It's been shelf sitting with it's 49er groupmates and has come out for a flight. Represents a [...]
Here's another selection of the color schemes carried by the Curtiss P-40 Kittyhawk/Warhawk during its extensive service career. All artwork has been kindly contributed by Mr Rick Kent.
