silliness.....tigermodels cute P40

[oz rb fan]

well we all need a bit silliness ....so an egg P40 filled the bill

its the tiger models P40 using decals from the Academy 1/72 P40-e as Sqn leader Dick Creswells P40e-1 A29-113 well known for it's nose art.

the kit is quite nice with nice(for an egg plane) detail and two different instrument panels one flat for a sticker or a nice detailed one that you can paint.

overall a fun build  a great little kit i may have to do the KI84 i also have.

Every time I see one of these, my first thought is that I've lost the 'normal' aspect ratio on my PC screen!

 

But seriously, really lovely work...and Cresswell's -E is always a favorite.
