theplasticsurgeon Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 This is the nearest I've got for boxart. Story is that I bought this kit at a car-boot in 2015 - with 3 others, This, Angel Interceptor, Assault Gun, 88mm and SdKfz - 4 for a tenner. Bargain! Plan at the back of my mind for Pearl Harbour. . . . . somehow. Then I swapped the kit with Hepster, for sealed bag P-40 from the Under the Red Star set. He acquires the AMLC decal set - and gives me the scap of leftovers on the first photo. 1

Next the Academy P-40M. Academy P-40B Flying Tiger. Airfix P-40E - with Academy decals. Another Airfix - can't remember the source for those decals, BUT SharkMouth. 3
