Excellent!  The shark mouth is always cool.

Nice job Greg.  Something about that plane just brings the little kid out in me.  The old monogram 1/48 kit was one of the first planes I ever built.

Thanks. That's kind of the way I approached it: no cockpit add-ons, no brake or aerial lines (though I did break down and scratch-build the British-style pitot), just a quick, fun build! Big Smile

HB's simplified 'Easy Build' P-40B Tomahawk built straight out of the box...complete with bright powder-blue kit-sheet roundels...but a relaxing and fun project nonetheless. Of all the many aircraft that have ever worn a shark's mouth -- with due apologies to the RAF's 112 Squadron, who admittedly had them first -- the American Volunteer Group's versions, on the pugnacious P-40B, still seem to 'growl' the loudest.

Enjoy.
