ACADEMY P-40C the Flying Tiger Build,

The build by P-40 sky hawk from Academy really a challenging art. Scale model just for fun!

Great works sir, I have this model I did some Box reviw Video I like it

Great build video, thanks! Col Robert Scott who wrote God Is My Copilot flew the P-40C while he was based in my home state of Assam, India, flying transports over The Hump. The plane was on loan from Gen Chennault's Flying Tigers in China. He changed the number "10" on his fuselage to number "7" after he radioed "One Zero coming in from the North" while landing at a Flying Tigers field in China and attracted friendly fire that almost shot him down. Later, he flew a P-40D in US Army Air Corps colours and led the Flying Tigers squadron after Gen Chennault. One of the most crucial aircraft of WW2 that was disliked by the Allies but one that the Russians liked.

Nice build! I have a stack of three of this kit. I'm thinking I might try building all three simultaneously.

[@ArdeconHobby]

thanks, friend I will look forward to this

@@ArdeconHobby Hi, I started my three P-40C simultaneous build this month. One of the guns on the Hobbycraft version is missing (I'd bought it used), so I'm having to recast the part from one of the others. Maybe by the end of this month I'll have the first video uploaded.

I built 2 of these cheap and reasonably easy to build

[@MMilanezi]

Friend, can you tell me what ink you used below? mark, midelo or numbering?

[@ArdeconHobby]

it's straight from the box available, and I'm not so familiar with the numbering but it's the first jet bomber during WWII from German AF. the colors are dark green H-36 of aqueous and flat green fx-5 of Tamiya

[@jerrymccrae7202]

FYI....thats a p40B not a C. The B had nose guns and 4 wing mounted machine guns.

[@ArdeconHobby]

thanks for the info my friend, the build was only based on what the manual was instructed.
