                        P-40 For my friends son.
                        Posted by ww2psycho on Wednesday, December 10, 2014 5:47 PM

                        I built this P-40 for a friend I work with, they are doing her sons room in airplanes and asked if I could build one for them. Its the Academy kit. 

                        I've only done one other model for a friends son and it was a P-38 last year.

                        All small parts were left off due to their age. From my understanding the P-40 will be hung up so he cant touch it and I'm not sure of the P-38's fate as I no longer talk with that friend.

                        Nicely done.  Reminds me of a 38 I did back in the mid 90's for an airport lunchroom down in southern Oregon.  Hope that yours still survives.

                        Nice! =] I hope to have my kids see mine in the house somewhere.  Is that the Academy P-38?

                        Great job psycho, on both!  I love the P-40!  Kuddo's for doing this for your friends son.  It'll be something he'll appreciate later.  Hopefully, he'll not tie a string to one wing, twirl it round and round, in an effort to bring down his best friends dad's model plane ;-)  Raymond
