Oh man... this had me laughing at my desk.  Awesome!  Nothing like a good chuckle at our own expense http://hsfeatures.com/features04/p40ecompbb_1.htm

I couldn't agree more. I'm a fan/ collector of objective criticism. Many years ago Road and Track magazine had a "road test" review of the F-4 Phantom II. It doesn't seem to be on the www but it was a classic. After the front seat Aviator flew the reviewer upside down at 500 knts through a fire trail in the woods, and the journalist puked into his mask, the review was:

0 g rollover mass

acceleration: 0-600 mph (nutty number)

Accesories: you can't afford them

Overall: the mask belonged to the Admiral.

 

Nothing like a good laugh first thing tin the morning

that, thanks!

That was great, thanks for posting.  best laugh is the first one at 8:41 am.

on another note, I love those little egg planes, I wana do one sometime.

In the new release, the cockpit is present, but the modeleer must shorten the wings and inflate the fuselage to an egg shape to create an accurate Hasegawa P-40E model.

 

If you guys want some additionally funny stuff, check out a guy over at the Aircraft Resource Center (http://www.arcair.com/) by the name of Gabriel Stern.  If you google his name, a few of his builds some up as well.  ALL of his reviews are like this- lighthearted, easy to read, and (best of all), EXTREMELY interesting.  Lately he's been specializing in scratchbuilt, little-known golden era aircraft.  Good stuff.

Huh!? What's with the mishapen piece of crud on the left? It's way out of proportion. Looks like too much work, too!
