A size comparison alongside a Curtiss P-40E Warhawk:

Very nice build Joe when I built my 1/48 one I thought it was out of scale when I compared it to the Curtis and the Spitfire. The colors look amazing thanks for sharing

Wow, looks great. I especially like the transition of the paint from the darker top colour to the lower light colour, very nice work mate and a great looking kit. Cheers

Cheers Lee. It's a big beast compared to many of its contemporaries

Cheers Peter. Less masking because of the soft transitions between colours

A lovely build - I do like Hellcats in that scheme.
