RW Tomahawk Mk1, 250 Sqn North Africa

[AeroplaneDriver]

Latest build has languished on the bench for a few weeks.  Kit is the Hasegawa P-40E with decals from the AMT Tomahawk.  It was a good deal on eBay and came with Eduard prepainted seatbelts.  Not a bad kit with some nice detail in the cockpit, but a little PSR required.  Paints are airbrushed Hataka acrylics.  It's not a perfect build, but I hit the point where I wanted it done and off the bench onto the shelf. 

I think the third kit I ever built when I was about 7 was a P-40. It was a rainy day of model building at my cousin's house.  Don't know the kit but it was molded in dark green, and it was still all dark green after I'd clumped it together with an entire tube of Airfix cement.  This one turned out a bit better.   Even though I absolutely love the P-40, this is the first one I've built since then I think. 









Apologies for another Real World build...next one is a Whif, just started tonight.

Looks good, bud!

You sure it's RW?  Your underside looks more grey then Azure to me (although that may be my screen) which would make it a paint whiff.


Whatever, it looks great.

It looks more blue in person.  It's Hataka's Azure Blue. 

Thanks for the comments guys.   This is a scheme Ive always loved.  I may need to Whif up something different in this scheme...so many airframes it would look good on!

That's looking very good.
