1/48 Academy P-40C

Hey all, some pics of my latest build, an Academy 1/48 P-40C in an AVG scheme

Very well done! What sort of aftermarket did you use on this kit?

Hubba hubba. She looks gorgeous. The pit work looks fantastic, the extra wiring really makes it pop. Very nice, thx for posting.

Thanks Stikpusher. I used the Eduard photoetched flaps, the True Details cockpit set, Ultracast wheels and exhausts, the wing guns are from Master Model but the nose guns are hypo needles. The decals are from CMK. There’s various bits of small scratchbuilding as well.

There’s a model of a guy who clearly knows what he is doing[;)] Excellent work and a fine model. I’m getting the feeling you will get that sabre nailed the right way[:D]

Congrats![tup]

Excellent work. The cockpit and flaps really add a lot to that kit. I also spotted the tires right off, but didn’t notice the exhaust pipes or the machine guns until you pointed those out.

Always great to see the p-40 in AVG scheme, those flaps came out really nice - add a lot to the basic kit.

Nicely done Tony. Thanks for sharing.

Regards, Rick

She looks great! [tup]

Silly thing, but I really like the way the landing gear looks. Must be some kinda leg fetish. [:D]

Thanks Jeremy. I really liked the look of the block tread on the resin wheels when I saw them too. It’s not a tread you see too often.
