Hi all,
i am back after very long time off.
The below is my recent build Academy 1-48 scale Curtiss P-40 Tomahawk IIB
paints: Tamiya outside and Hataka cockpit green
Aftermarket flaps from AMLA part number 48 001 (I messed up here quite badly )
Decals from kit printed by Cartograf - brilliant stuff.
Overall the kit is quite quick but nothing exciting.
Commemorative to : Neville Duke No 112 Shark squadron in November 1941 Egypt.
Squadron Leader Neville Frederick Duke DSO, OBE, DFC & Two Bars, AFC, FRAeS (11 January 1922 – 7 April 2007) was a British test pilot and fighter ace of the Second World War. He was the most successful Western Allied ace in the Mediterranean Theatre, and was credited with the destruction of 27 enemy aircraft. After the end of the war, Duke was acknowledged as one of the world's foremost test pilots. In 1953, he became holder of the world air speed record when he flew a Hawker Hunter at 727.63 mph (1,171.01 km/h) over Littlehampton.

Thank you
Seb
