Cool look through the window of history. Neat to see a Kittyhawk without the shark mouth.

Thanks for posting Neil. Some good ones there.

You would enjoy "Kittyhawks over the Sands" by Levigne where you'd see a lot of similar pictures.

Great photos, cheers mate!

Interesting too the comment that Hurricanes looked like "hungry horses" after a few months in the desert. If the one major criticism of the 1:72 Hasegawa kits is overdone ribbing, I can now poke my tongue out, say 'na-nanna-na-na!' and point the accuser in the direction of this thread

Great photos. Can anyone hazard a guess on the cammo on this aircraft.

Also, is that a Wildcat in the background?

Thanks for any imput.

Not a Wildcat, rather a P-40 I'd say. Looks very short without it's cowls, rudder and canopy slid back though. P-40B ??

A few Hurricane squadrons in North Africa tried painting the noses of their aircraft in a axis-style mottle Geo.
