4.0 out of 5 stars
P-40 modelling help,

This review is from: Modelling the P-40: "Hawk 81, Tomahawk, Warhawk and Kittyhawk" (Osprey Modelling) (Paperback)
A good cross section of projects. The finishing (specifically painting) techniques could be expanded, or even a separate chapter on painting and weathering techniques added to the book. I found the book invaluable to doing a quality build of a 1/48 P-40.

A good reference book for modelers of WW-II aircraft,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Modelling the P-40: "Hawk 81, Tomahawk, Warhawk and Kittyhawk" (Osprey Modelling) (Paperback)
I'm currently in the process of building two models representing the American Volunteer Group (AVG) who flew an early model of the P-40 against the Japanese Army Air Force at the start of WW-II. This book provided me with valuable information about building an accurate model of the aircraft flown by David Lee "Tex" Hill, one of the aces of the group (and one of my personal heroes.
Most kits of the P-40B are out-of-scale in one part or another, and this book helped me to model the one I'm working on; modifications of several contours, mainly the horizontal stabilizer, were required. In addition, paint colors can be a problem as these early aircraft were to be sent to Great Britain before being co-opted by the AVG for Flying Tiger use. |
