Curtiss P-40N Warhawk, CACW, Chihkiang, 1944

[russ c]

Hi everyone,

Just finished my other `Chinese` P-40 that I was building along side my recently posted AVG Hawk 81

Hasegawas 1/48 P-40N completed to represent; `Sam` of the Chinese American Composite Wings 5th FG

Flown by Col John A Dunning, Chihkiang, China 1944

Built pretty much out of the box, with just some seat belts, brake pipes and

aerial wires added.

Decals were from an old Cutting Edge set.

Hope you enjoy, thanks for looking

Cheers Russ

I see you changed your Asian topic from Indochina to China :-)

like your tiger also this is a great looking model, a pity Hasegawa doesn´t do early P-40s...

Another superb build Russ,I particularly like the tonal changes on the upper surfaces,and as John said not an often seen variant.

[ForestFan]

I do like that, just looks that bit different!

Fantastic. P-40N is my favourite variant and great scheme and finish. I see that the front undercarriage covers are missing?

Cheers Grahame, re: the front undercarriage covers, no they`re not, I can see them in pic`s 4 and 6, the photo`s came out a bit dark, is all. Thanks for looking and commenting though.

on all points.

The P-40 may not have been one of the best fighters , but it was one of the best looking fighters ! Great job ! You did a wonderful job blending all those separate panels that Hasegawa used to make it a multi mark kit !

Nice Warhawk here and inspiration for my old 1:32 Revell which I bought few monts ago.

Impressive build Love the finish

I've got a P-40 on the go in 1/72 and it's been nothing but trouble to the point it's almost been in the bin twice.
