Hello !

Please don't forget about the P-40M which is a very important variant not yet mainstream kitted in 1/72.

Those are both rather cool and would look good sat on the wing of something as the highlight or part of a Steampunk project.

I thought the Tophat with goggles looked a bit Steampunkish.

I think those would work well for "What if" type projects.

 

If you're going to do female figures and of the casting quality in the picture, would you consider some real world options as well? Maybe some female ATA figures to go with WWII RAF subjects.

Ditto. I know several people who will be very happy to see ATA or WRAAF figures

Soviet fighter aces like Lydia Litvyak, say? Or Bomber crews or 'night witches' perhaps?

FYI, ICM has a new set of 3 WASP figures in 1/32. Not 48, I know, but still exciting!

Nice sadly its the wrong scale, I can hope they shrink them down someday. I can only really build in 1/48 & 1/72 due to storage and display issue’s.

Academy’s 1/72 P-40 kit comes in a boxing with options for the P-40N/Kittyhawk IV and P-40M/Kittyhawk III. I know, because I’ve built the M from that box. Also, there is very little external difference between the late P-40K with the long tail and the P-40M and I believe they were both called Kittyhawk III in British service.
