russ c Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Hi all,just finished Hasegawas 1/48 P-40e, which I`ve done as 1st Lt, Richard Vodras `Squirlbate` used in the South West Pacific Theatre Decals came from a Superscale sheet which depicts a P-40n as the aircraft but from what i can find out Vodras `N` was O/D N/G scheme with the chequered tail other wise it`s pretty much OOB with just seatbelts, brake pipes, fuel tank breather and antenna added Got to do some more Hasegawa `49ers to replace my dodgy Revell ones as there a really wide variety of schemes and markings. thought whilst I was here I`d also show you my previous Hasegawa P-40 builds P-40k, done as 1st Lt, Ed Nollmeyers White 255, 51st FG which was used in the CBI and unusually has no eyes to go with the sharkmouth and finally P-40n, done as White 55, of 2nd Lt, Herbert Doughty with the 80th FG kit was actually the Finnish M boxing but with Cutting Edge decals used which is another CBI Warhawk Hope you enjoy, thanks for looking Cheers Russ 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russ c Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Nice work! what colors you used for P40E & P40K? Cheers Sivcev !, I used Humbrol 116, 26 and 64 for the camo` , mainly to try to replicate the difference between US and British manufacturers paints. with weathering in olive drab and grey.

Paul J Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) Nice work on all these.Excellent modelling. Can't go wrong with the 48th Hasegawa kits. I 've two built plus 72nd ones. But... wasn't Squirlbate an 'N'?? I done this one from the Aeromaster sheet to 72nd and is depicted as the long tail all clear canopy! I have serious doubts about the accuracy of some of the Superscale decals...especially the side view drawings. They can be very misleading. Am intersted in hearing from more knowledgable people here regarding 'Squirlbate'. MAybe AeroMaster was wrong??!!

Hi Paul, I first bought the sheet with the intention of doing the `N` but whilst I was trying to find a complete camo` pattern I became aware that Vodras `N` had an olive drab with green splotches and neutral grey scheme plus the chequer tail and wheel hubs and no `squirlbate` nose art. In the book Protect and Avenge by Schiffer there is a photo of an `E` with the nose art and later an `N` with the chequers, it looks like some one imagined the two into one somewhere. Thanks for looking and commenting, Btw I`ve got the tail markings still, so I can do the other one sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay Setzer Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Hello Russ Came across this site doing research for a friend on his dad....Lt. "Hal" Doughty. His son Rick wanted to know if you have any interest in selling the model you built on his P40E #55 Clay [email protected] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Russ, What an awesome collection of P-40's! I really liked your K, which is my favorite version of the "short-nosed" Warhawk. Consistent quality throughout, and I really liked the restrained but realistic weathering and scuffing. You, sir, are a model-builder!
