Well I’m gonna get a kit for Christmas but for the life of me I can’t decide what I want. I’ve thrown around the idea of a 1/48 A-20, He-111, or D-217, but then remembered my whole stash consists of nothing smaller than a B-25 so I kinda want to do a smaller build. So then I got to thinking maybe a fighter of some sort; a P-38 or P-40 or something. Hell maybe even a Corsair or some other navy fighter, I don’t know. Any suggestions on any of the planes I’ve mentioned?
Flip a coin for the type, flip it again for the model.
not a bad idea
Just get one of each and you won’t have to decide.
There’s a couple of P-40 threads in Aircraft—check 'em out and maybe the bug will bite you…
Sounds like you need a fighter for your collection. P-40’s are classic.
I am working on a nice kit right now. It’s the Dragon 1/32 scale P51D Mustang. The plan has several companies making kits of it. There is also a Hasegawa and a Revell kit in the same scale of the same plane. There’s also about a dozen smaller 1/48 kits of it made by various manufacturers. I love the P51D… To me it’s THE iconic fighter of WWII. The P38 is nice and I have done kits of it in the past. The Academy kit is nice, as is the Revell. It comes in multiple scales as well. I haven’t actually done a P40 YET. But I have an old Revell 1/32 of it around here somewhere. The Corsair is another nice kit, just stay away from any kit that has the folding wings option. It’s more trouble than it’s worth. lol.
I would go for the P51D though.
Hope this helps.
