Tolga ULGUR Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Here is another tick on my P-40 Warhawk to do list. This is 1/32 Hasegawa P-40E Warhawk with the markings of “Kay Strawberry Blonde” flown by Sammy Pierce of 8th FS / 49th FG Doboudura, New Guinea in Spring 1943. The inspiration for this build is the profile in Kagero's Curtiss P-40 Warhawk book. Cockpit modified with Eduard PE instrument panel and seat belts. I have used Quickboost exhaust set and Grey Matter main wheels. Gunsight is from Master. Nose art “Kay Strawberry Blonde” made by Custom Hobby Decals and numbers of “Red 42” by my friend Ozkan Turker. Paints are Gunze Sangyo acrylics. Happy modelling 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I think that's very good. Well built and exceptionally well painted - I look at the exhaust for example - superb! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmerboy Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Well you can certainly build and finish models to a very high standard, something to aspire to, brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Brilliant! The details and subtle weathering look perfect to me! 'Cause of the plane's name, I was half expecting a pinup as nose art - looks fantastic anyway! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
