[seavixenxj494]

Hi to all , i saw this gb and thought that i would have a go myself , so this is going to be a B-40 Bomahawk , it will be painted in vietnam war camo. i have made a few modifications to the standard p-40 , such as the ejector seat , the 6 bladed props and the new arrangement of weapons , i will up date this post as the build goes on  , letme know what you think .

That's just great, Steve! The new prop, wingtip tanks and weapons really make this work and the idea of using SEA camo is insipred. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your progress on this project! Aren't P-40s wonderful whiffing material?

Looking good so far!  Any thought to the operator - the RAAF were a big P-40 user and were in Vietnam you know - hint, hint!

My.......................that looks one evil looking little bugger! SEA cammo sounds spot on and I have to agree with GTX.........definately Ausrtralian!!
Looking forward to seeing this one develop.

HI everybody , i've not had alot of time to built recently but i have done a bit on the 'Bomberhawk' i was thinking about the tip tanks and changed them to cannons , i converted them with the under belly gun pod of off a phantom , also i cut the pannel out of the kit and replaced it with a seat and up to date pannel out of a hawk 100,  i hope to post more images soon

Looks great, especially with that six-blade prop! I do wonder though, what's with the putty on the wing? Aborted wingfold?

[seavixenxj494]

yep you hit the nail right on the head it was ment to be a wing fold inspired by the skyraider but it didnt look quite right so i took it away again

Hey....whatever happened to this beauty???       Sure hope you finish it.

I wish we could pose your P-40 next to my P-51 (built for a one-week GB per below).  I think a Spitfire and Fury will be next to get the same treatment (oversized warload, tiptanks, etc.).
