This is my WIP for what should hopefully be done by December. This is a build for one of the more iconic allied fighter planes of WW2, the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk. The kit is the new mold 1/72 Airfix Curtiss Hawk 81-A-2, which just like it's latest releases, is amazingly detailed with recessed panel lines, weighted tires, thin canopy, etc.
This will be in 20th Pursuit Squadron, Clark Air Base, USAAC of December 1941, when the Imperial Japanese Forces started their attack on the Philippine Islands and shortly the American bases in Hawaii.
Better remembered with the shark-mouth markings in connection with the AVG (American Volunteer Group) "Flying Tigers", stationed in China during WW2, decals of which came with the kit.
This will be a series of builds remembering that fateful start of the Pacific War in the Philippines.
