Nice work indeed. I recently built the Airfix 1/72 Curtiss Hawk 81A2 (P40B) and it was a blast! It need some filler here and there but other than that the fit was excellent, as is the detail and decals. I know I may of overweathered it and such but as long as it looks like a Warhawk it's fine with me. Here are finished shots of the model on it's "Display Base." 
Thanks for looking!

Good work!
Cool!
Here's a big one.
It's a Spitfire float plane, one of those operated from Egypt's Great Bitter Lake.
The model is based on the Trumpeter 1/24 Spitfire float plane kit. Unfortunately you can't make this aeroplane, or any of the others in Egypt, from the kit, there are problems to numerous to list here.
The biggest 'fix' is an entirely new tail and stabilisers from Greymatter Figures. It involves the sort of butchery that always makes the knees shake!
Markings are sprayed using Mal's superb 'Miracle Masks'.
Paints are a mixture of the now discontinued WEM Colourcoats and Xtracolor.
Cheers
Steve

Holy cow! Amazing job! Does it float?
I doubt it very much
The original full size versions had a serious problem with leaking floats. This was not so serious on the lake as the aircraft could be hauled out onto a slipway after each flight and the floats drained. The intention was to operate the aircraft from secret bases in the Greek Islands, supported by a radar equipped submarine, against Italian supply routes to North Africa. Had the military situation not prevented this operational deployment, the leaky floats might have.
Of the three built and sent to Egypt, two were re-assembled and flown, but never operationally.
