Hi all,
Here's my first build for this GB - Airfix's new tool P-40B in the scheme of 112 sqn RAF.
112 Sqn was part of the Desert Air Force in North Africa, and was the first P-40 user to add the famous 'Shark Mouth'.
Here's the kit - started but not as far as it looks...
Decals....
That's all for now
Cheers !
P-40 in the ETO - Airfix 1/72 Tomahawk mk.I

Great project!
Desert camos look so good!
With or even without shark mouths! :-)

Yep - P-40's with sharkmouths are cool!
No movement on this yet, as I'm trying to finish another model, but I have decided on how it'll be presented when finished. It's going to be wheels up with a propblur, on a desert base mixing it with a bf109.
not sure how to do the sand yet, but I'll figure it out.

Very good, Portman. Somehow, I missed this one. Must have had the good eye closed. Great start.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

The strut looks a bit too wide!
