    Andrew's 1/72 Airfix P-40B Warhawk (Pearl Harbour)

    Actually it's the second time in four builds that I've found error with the destruction markings.....not sure if you saw it but I did in spades with my Tempest build! https://www.scalemodelling.co.uk/threads/andrews-secret-santa-1-72-airfix-tempest-v-post-war.1255614/post-1255743

    Andrew's 1/72 Airfix P-40B Warhawk (Pearl Harbour)

    Ok chaps, so the first of three updates on this build. First the marking conundrum I mentioned.....i.e. Airfix claiming 284 was on the 6th Pursuit Squadron, when everything I read has them flying P-36s on that fateful day. The 19th PS were though flying P-40Bs. I think I have got to the...

    Andrew's 88mm Flak 37 (The Hunters and the Hunted)

    Ok chaps, so I been slowly working away on this at club nights and have finally finished what I think will nominally be the back wall. The coffee stirrer sticks I'm using are way too thick at this scale....over 30cm in real life, which is a big plank. Therefore, I score a line down each strip...

    Andrew's 1/72 Airfix P-40B Warhawk (Pearl Harbour)

    Chris, Neil Thanks for the support, as always. Neil - as you say not the best but effective nonetheless....good but not quite as good as what followed...a bit like the Hurricane. That said, one of the reference books I have quotes another author's comments about them, to the effect that 'a...

    Andrew's 1/72 Airfix P-40B Warhawk (Pearl Harbour)

    Thanks for that Joe! Very much appreciated. I seem to recall seeing that when I first started looking into conundrum I found myself but at the time missed the reference to it being 284, so thanks again for bringing it to my attention! ATB Andrew

    Andrew's 1/72 Airfix P-40B Warhawk (Pearl Harbour)

    Thanks Jim. It's not exactly the best plane out there but it helped carry a lot of the load, especially in the when things were not looking great.

    Andrew's 1/72 Airfix P-40B Warhawk (Pearl Harbour)

    Afternoon all Firstly, thanks to @Geoffers for suggesting this, even if I nearly missed it! So discovering this GB came at a good time as, even before finishing the IAF Spitfire, I had decided that my next victim would be a P-40B of Pearl Harbour vintage.....even if I will struggle to finish...
