2 NEW PROJECTS!

[nighthunter]

Okay, so now I have 2 new projects on the table, both 1/72, one FW-190A-8/F-8, a wonderful (no sarcasm) 1977 Airfix England offering. Now as some of you know, I came up with a US version for both the USN and USAAC/AF. Anywho, after doing some research, (required for some semblance of reality) it looks like the P-40 and FW-190 had similar maximum range, while the 190 was superior in performance, due to it's BMW engine, it could have been even more powerful with a Wright R-2600. So, a Boeing P-50A Shrike, with a Wright R-2600 is what it will become.

Now another fun project is also an Airfix kit, a newer P-40E, that comes with the RAF Desert AF markings and RAAF markings. This poses a small problem, as everyone and their Mother had P-40s. I was thinking Finland, but they operated captured Russian examples. Trying to break away from the IAC addiction, not that it wouldn't look cool. So some Whiff Ideas would be appreciated.

P40, odd suggestions:-   Swedish  interned examples,  post Second World War Cambodian, Laotian  or even Burmese  or completely off the wall  Imperial Japanese marked as "prise du guerre"------whatever that is in Japanese.

Finland used the radial-powered, earlier Curtiss 75 IIRC (there was a Revell kit in this guise many years ago), as well as Norway. How about a Norwegian P-40E, as a replacement for those Hawk 75s and maybe the Gloster Gladiators? NMF, with an overpainted "net" cammo in olive drab?

Royal Lao Air Force.
They have a rather nice roundel which put me in mind of Terry Pratchett's Discworld.
