112 Squadron Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 It is amazing to see your ever growing P-40 collection. Your father is doing an excellent job. 👍 I am also well aware how much time and effort you are investing in researching each individual plane and its markings. I am really looking forward to seeing the next models from your line. Best Regards, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing your builds with us Regards Alan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
