Airfix Tomahawk 1/48.


Recommended Posts

Hi folk's,not a planned entry it was a bargain buy for £12 at the weekend's show,I've had a go at this kit when it was new and found it a delight to build.

think aircraft of the North African campaign and the sharkmouth P-40's of 112 Sqn. alway's come to mind,the Vc's is almost finished so will start it soon.

Box art.

Nice choice and a good start Steve.

I agree 100% that when you think of the war in the Western Desert that the sharkmouthed P-40's of 112 squadron are the first to spring to mind.

Having seen your excellent Spit Vc I'm sure this will be another cracker, and at £12 an absolute bargain.

Looks great Steve,...... which paint did you use for the Mid Stone mate? Was it Xtracrylic?

 

Cheers

Great looking model, Steve.  I've a sudden urge to get my hands on that kit now.

Many thank's Joseph,it's my second build of the kit I'd be tempted to get a third for the box top scheme but I have Trumpeter's 1/32 scale kit

in the very same sat for two years in the box I must start it one day.
