Hi

 

I would like to share the progress made on these models. Our friend Luis already did the decals for us with all the code letter, serial numbers, some nose art, roundels (RAF & SAAF), for this series.

With these decals my Father could finish these Tomahawks.

Hi. 

 

More progress was made by my Father on these Tomahawks.

I have started to think about how our friend could make all the Shark Mouths we need (aprox. 13). I have started with the first one in order to give him the firt estimation of size. He will then draw it and we will make the first aprox. I will repeat the process for the rest.

This is a hell of a project; I usually avoid the word "epic", but I think it applies here!

Thank you very much.  To be honest it is very challenging project. 

 

These P40 have the decals on. We will leave the  Tomahawk AK122 BT-H 1686 FLT  1944 aside until we have the shark mouth's decal.

As much as I've enjoyed the Tomahawks, I am very excited to see the Kittyhawks make their appearance. Wonderful stuff Raul and Santiago!

I detected another mistake. Tomahawk AK122 BT-H had Sky spinner and not black. 

 

The next four Tomahawk have already added the canopies.

We have two more to be done but we are waiting for the kits. Therefore we will continue with the P40 E / Kittyhawk I  version.

My father has put aside the kits for the following production batches.

You are making great progress with your project! It is nice to see the stash of models you already set aside for the next batch of P-40s. 


 

Thank you very much. I am glad that you like it. Well, it is quite a nightmare puting all the information together.

Nice mix of older and newer kits!

Yes. My father has tried to improved the old ones by cloning parts from the new ones.
