Hi all,
Here's my first build for this GB - Airfix's new tool P-40B in the scheme of 112 sqn RAF.
112 Sqn was part of the Desert Air Force in North Africa, and was the first P-40 user to add the famous 'Shark Mouth'.
Here's the kit - started but not as far as it looks...
Decals....
That's all for now
Cheers !

Great project!
Desert camos look so good!
With or even without shark mouths! :-)

Yep - P-40's with sharkmouths are cool!
No movement on this yet, as I'm trying to finish another model, but I have decided on how it'll be presented when finished. It's going to be wheels up with a propblur, on a desert base mixing it with a bf109.
not sure how to do the sand yet, but I'll figure it out.

Very good, Portman. Somehow, I missed this one. Must have had the good eye closed. Great start.
