VG 33 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Hello Another finished build with this 1/72 Finnish Curtiss P-40M which actually was some sort of a gift from the Soviet enemy in 1943. The decals came from the old V7269 Ventura decal sheet. At the moment I am clearing my huge "in progress" boxes as this one was started many years ago.

David Koktavý Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Nice build 👏 , I wonder about the lower wing finnish insignia with a blue border, quite unusual 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeusa Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Clearly a well traveled aircraft, being given by the U.S. to the Soviets and then from the Soviets, probably not so willingly, obtained by Finland. Great use of a different livery and the finish of the kit is superb. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2996 Victor Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Fantastic craftsmanship, that's a beauty! The more I learn about the Winter War and Continuation War, the more fascinated I become, like the way the Finns used captured aircraft against their former owners. Thanks for sharing!
