Academy 1/48 P-40C Tomahawk


Recommended Posts

Hey ARC,

 

I know that, with the release of Airfix's P-40, there's been a number of early P-40s being built.  I picked up Academy's boxing at a swap meet for just a few dollars and figured I'd build it up.  I decided to build it OOB with some Starfighter decals.  The Starfighter markings were customized, and the kit's sharkmouth was used, to represent a P-40B from the 54th Pursuit Group around 1943.  I wanted to do something a little different than an AVG airframe.  The Carpet Monster got the pitot tube, but I'll be scratch building a replacement.  The kit is pretty simple with little detail, but it builds up nicely.  There was no filler used on this kit.  All paint is MM enamels, and it's weathered with Flory washes and pastels.

Anyway, feel free to share your thoughts.  Thanks for looking!

 

Cheers,
