Snoopy Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Hi This is my P 40 N. The scale is 1:72. It's made from a Hasegawa kit.Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Johnson Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Very nice. I did the old Monogram P-40N (all that was available 35 years ago). If there was a competition as to what plane epitomizes the Second War, the P-40 would definitely make the top 10.Until the Mustang and Thunderbolt came along, the P-40 was it (unless you were Navy or Marines).

I have to admit that the P-40, is one of my favourite aircraft. In my unbuilt pile of models, I have an early Allison engined P-40. The scale of that one is 1:32. I'm just waiting for some spare time. Snoopy Edited May 19, 2007 by Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 The paint sequences on your aircraft models are second to none! How long does it take you to complete one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 The paint sequences on your aircraft models are second to none! How long does it take you to complete one?Thanks for the kind words. Actually, I have never counted the hours that I spend on a model, but I guess that it's way to many. Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What unit did this one fly with and where?All the best,DanHi DanGlad you like it. This aircraft belonged to the 80th FG. The 80th FG consisted of the 88th, 89th and the 90th FS. They operated in India and Burma in 1943-44. Lt Freeling 'Dixie' Clover came up with the scull design, which gave rise to their nicname, the "Burma Banshees". This design was used on all the P-40's in the 80th FG.Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest IMHF Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Kits made in Japan are very detailed: But the skull makes the plane look great.......SSG Luna, Lorenzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
