Marshal
Username: Crimea River
First name: Andy
Category: Judge – Non competing
Scale: 1/48
Manufacturer: Hasegawa
Model Type: Kittyhawk IV
Aftermarket addons: Eduard PE, the inevitable scratch built crap, etc....
At the risk of entering yet another P-40 in this build, I did clear this with the other builders by offering to do a Hellcat instead but the P-40 won out on the votes so here it is. I will depict the P-40N/Kittyhawk IV flown by S/L Geoff Atherton of 80 Squadron RAAF. This model will utilize the kit and decals from the Hasegawa kit depicting this aircraft:
Lots of pictures of this aircraft exist. I'll post those that I collected below and tip my hat to some members here who may have posted these and from whom I copied them.
Although I've read the kind assistance offered to Igor (Imalko) on his excellent build of this same subject in 1/72 scale, I will welcome any and all feedback on this build as I'm not at all familiar with RAAF subjects. I'll start this build shortly after I finish Fireball.
