Airfix 1:72 P-40 Warhawk Part 4

In this grand finale episode we finish up the Airfix P-40 Warhawk build. Today we get the decals on, which are surprisingly excellent. Also we add weathering to make the airplane look like is been well used, as well as continuing our history of the Flying Tigers time in China.
Here is a very well written, and researched article about the historical colors of the Flying Tiger aircraft. ratomodeling.co... If you are interested, you should definitely check it out.

I love the history you share. It’s my favorite part. I too believe you have truly improved your painting techniques. Great attention to detail. It was interesting to see the old against the new. What a difference. Hope you are greatly enjoying the process.

Loved this series of build videos along with the historic notes. Great build narrative with all the highs and lows. Thanks.

Great build, and also great historical narration! Like you, I'm getting back into scale modelling after a break of...more years than I care to admit! I'm planning on doing four separate 1/72 P-40's: two from Pearl Harbor (Taylor and Welch), one from the Philippines, and one from Stateside. Now, I should probably add an AVG ship as well! I like the Airfix kit since there aren't an overwhelming number of parts and the build looks relatively straightforward. Your build looks really nice and thanks so much for posting all of the videos!

Thanks! The airfix is a great little kit. Plastic is a little soft but in the end it looks like a P-40. Would love to see your builds when you finish.

I build the Academy version of this P-40 but I made a lot of mistakes in the painting scheme. Now I want to assemble this version with the correct colors.
I loved the idea of model kit building with historical background.

Thanks for watching. I'd like to see your P-40 when you get it finished. Stay tuned for more content coming soon.
