Hasegawa 1/72 Kittyhawk Mk IV 'RAAF'

[dfqweofekwpeweiop4]

Hasegawa Curtiss Kittyhawk Mk IV (P-40N), Sqd Leader Geoffrey Atherton, RAAF. The kit is Hasegawa's P-40N, finished with Academy decals. The kit's a bit basic but not bad, it's OOB except for the seatbelts and ariel Wire. Painted with Lifecolor RAAF colours. It might seem crazy to use Academy decals (not much good in this case either!) but I love the RAAF aircraft with the white tails and leading wing edges and it means I can do the Academy kit as a P-40M.

 

thanks

I think the P-40 is like the American Hurricane,both overshadowed by more illustrious stablemates,which is a shame as I prefer the Hurricane and P-40 to their relative cohorts. Your model is well tidy,like the aircraft itself.

Really great Kittyhawk !!!

Thanks Guys!

 

Yes the P-40 is a little underrated but it did a fine job and I have quite a few in the stash!

 

thanks

This looks great.  I, too, really like this scheme.  The application of the white is terrific as it can often look too 'white' if you know what I mean.

Fantastic work. Love the scheme.

You've done it justice here - and in this scale, it being a bit on the basic side is negated by your skill.

Top job.

 

Love seeing classic aircraft in RAAF regalia.

 

Very tidy build and finish.

 

Cheers!
