stevej60 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 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. And the scheme. And in Pearl Harbour scheme. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 Morning all,a quiet few day's with not a lot done on anything but this build,I'm out of a load of paint;s etc.Anyway here's my usual "busy" cockpit painted and detailed with masking tape harness. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
