Snakes on a Plane...1/48 Curtiss P-40K Warhawk 78th FS USAAF


Recommended Posts

#13/2018

The first of a quartet of upcoming USAAF machines. This is my dad´s interpretation of the CO aircraft of 78th FS "Bushmasters", stationed on Hawaii in 1942/43.

Hasegawa kit mostly oob, added brake lines and seat belts, EZ Line for the antenna wires. Camo was done with Gunze and Tamiya acrylics.

Colorful bird, very attractive markings!

Built and painted in the usual standard (that means, excellent!).

Best greetings from Vienna.

Superb P-40!

As a lover of "nose art", I appreciate your great work.

Nice finishing and weathering too.

:clap:

 

Thanks very much!

Usually you see tiger, skull or parrot, thought it would be a good idea to do this rare scheme.
