Curtis’s P-40 F/L

[Wig41]

I just completed the Hobby Craft 1/48 P-40 F/L kit. Completed in about

two months and is OOB 'cept for the Eduard seatbelts. This the first of a collection I plan to build of the aircraft used by the Tuskegee Airmen. The 99th Fighter Squadron deployed to North Africa and their first combat was during Operation Corkscrew using P-40's. I attempted to really dirty this one up since these aircraft were received second hand and operated from the dry, dirty airfields in North Africa.

Very nice!

Very nice... and North Africa!
When I get more of my softskin vehicles done, this would be a great kit to add to the stash!

I like that you left the option to have canopy open or closed.

I wanted to be able to view the cockpit.
