Really nice work there Chris! The P-40 may not have been the best plane in the Second World War but I do think it was one of the best looking.

That's a blast from the past. I remember when that kit first came out along with the Spitfire and ME-109 and built all three.

That's a blast from the past. I remember when that kit first came out along with the Spitfire and ME-109 and built all three.

 

I did pretty much most of the 1/32 fighters and remember the others:  P-40E Aleutian Tiger, Spitfire Mk1, Hurricane Mk1, Seafire Mk1, P-51B, Me-109G-6, F4U Corsair, P-47D Bubbletop, FW-190D and the Stuka.

Chris, excellent job on Col. Scotts original bird, but there is one little problem from the kit.  The kit is a late P-40E which uses the fishtail exhausts.  Scott's plane was an early E which used the round exhausts as used on the B/C.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

True its an old kit, and this one had vrey brittle plastic that kept cracking yet I greatly enjoyed it. I didn't weather it as heavily as I should have but it just looked so cool sitting on my work bench that i didn't want too!
