This is an Academy 1/72 P-40E,
built straight from the box, with the only addition being the seatbelts made
from masking tape. Overall a simple & enjoyable build.
Markings depict a P-40E of 7th
Pursuit Group in Blimbing, East Java. It was previously stationed in the Philippines,
but moved to Borneo and Java after the Japanese forces overrun the Philippines
at the early stages of the war in the Pacific.
Decals are from Superscale and
various spare decals scavenged from my decals pile. Ironically, the numbers
came from a 1/48 Japanese plane (a Kate) !!!
Enjoy !
