Model Forum / General / Models / July 2007P-40N
I tried to post this the other day with no luck. I'm doing a 1/72 P-40N. Any observations on which kit s better, Hasegawa or Academy? Looking for the following after-market details. Details from Eduard Zoom, Part and Red Roo. Eduard Express Mask. Part etched metal canopy frame. Anyone with any/all of these that they wouldn't mind parting with please drop me a line. TIA, Tom >I tried to post this the other day with no luck. > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > >Tom what 1/48 scale p-40 was around in the 60's, tom? i built one that had, (big surprise!)a shark nose and even the eye. don't remember much detail on it, but it was big and shot down the 109's over the japanese ships at pearl harbor. my history when i was 7 was variable to fit the models. like the battle of wurzburg where the einglish shot down the 17's ah, the memories!. > >I tried to post this the other day with no luck. > > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > the battle of wurzburg where the einglish shot down the > 17's ah, the memories!. Monogram had a 1/48 P-40B kit out back then. It came with the shark's mouth decals. I'm pretty sure I have a pic of the box lid.

It looks like that particular Aleutian Tiger has gotten pretty chewed up by the Japanese. I had a Fokker D-VII and B-25 from that series. Detail sucked, but the Fokker was so big and tough you could actually glide it around and land it without breaking it. They were more assemble-it-yourself toys than models. Pat As I understand it, all of the "Screwdriver" kits were actually Aurora's old gas powered CL models & they modified the molds into "models". That's why your Fokker would really glide & was tough. I also later noticed on the box that it states it's 1/27 scale & all the others are 1/48 kits. > > I don't know about all of them in the pic, but the second one > > isn't 1/48, it's 1/27 or 1/28 & is the big screwdriver assembly one.

It's available again in a double kit with their P-51B from Accurate Miniatures. They also have two of the '30's biplanes from Monogram in a double kit. Tom |
