A couple years ago, after I did the Peanut Corsair, a friend asked if I could do a P-40.\u00a0 Well, I did a P-40 way back when (18″-20″?) and it wasn’t an easy design, so I had to give this some thought.\u00a0 I decided to replicate Pres Bruning’s P-40N.\u00a0 His plan represents an Australian Kittyhawk IV; the British name for the P-40N Warhawk.\u00a0 I’ve always preferred the -N or -F versions because of the reworked chin area (I don’t know why).\u00a0 So I dug into Pres’ plan.\u00a0 It wasn’t an easy conversion, but once the parts were cut out, the build went pretty well.<\/p>\n

As I worked on the plan, I needed a color scheme.\u00a0 I’ve always liked the “Burma Banshees” with their large skulls on the nose.\u00a0 I found a gamer skin of #44 and proceeded to convert that to tissue.<\/p>\n

I finished the model and I think it is one of my best looking models.\u00a0 It has been a challenge to trim, but it will fly.\u00a0 I was able to get it flying at just over 10 grams.<\/p>\n

You can find the short kit (with vacu-formed canopy and spinner) HERE<\/a><\/p>\n

If you want an extra canopy and spinner, it is right HERE<\/a><\/p>\n

And of course, the Free Tissue Template is HERE<\/a><\/p>\n
