Curtiss P-40M Warhawk - 1:144 AFV Club

[Mig88]

Here's the second of my first two kits completed this year. It's AFV Club's 1:144 Curtiss P-40M Warhawk 185, of the 47th Fighter Squadron, 15th Fighter Group, USAAF, at Noumea, New Caledonia, in December 1943.
Apart from the comments I made on the P-40N I posted earlier today, I had to correct the cockpit as, despite including an insert for the rear section of the cockpit, the head armour part was incorrect for the M variant being slanted forward (for the P-40N) instead of rearwards. I added the missing radio mast.
I had intended to make an RNZAF machine using the decals from the Printscale sheet but these were both incomplete and inaccurate so I went for the kit's only option.
The kit was fully painted and varnished by brush.

Thank you for looking and all comments are welcome as always

Another nicely done Warhawk, Miguel!  Amazing work on such a small model.

 

Cheers,

That doesn't look too bad at all. It is only the canopy that gives away it's small size.

I'm about to get into two P-40's in 1/48 scale. a P-40E from the Australian 75th sqn and Gloria the New Zealand P-40N. I hope I can do them justice.
