Hasegawa P-40 Egg-plane

Silly Week 2014

 

 

This is the Hasegawa non-scaled P.40 from their Egg-plane series. The kit offers either a Flying Tiger or an RAF Desert Air Force options.  I chose an unlisted 3rd option of a 112 Sqn, RAF aircraft by using the RAF markings, and the Flying Tigers shark mouth. 

I added:

  • alternate squadron code letters, 

  • 2 x underwing egg-bombs (from decorative beads),

  • an EZ-Line antenna wire, 

  • and a few additional teeth to the shark-mouth in order to fill the gaps. 

In all, it was a fun build. The fit was great, and the decals went down very nicely. I built it to fit-in with a Club Display theme.

Happy New Year everyone
