Looking good Stuart!
The yellow lines on the wings look very crispy and sharp ! Very nice!

That's an excellent new camo pattern there. I like it.

Re: Desert Tiger - Airfix 1/72 Tomahawk mk.I
nice idea with the change in markings.
How did the plane all go together?

Re: Desert Tiger - Airfix 1/72 Tomahawk mk.I
Thanks for the comments all, it's appreciated!
I had to change the markings, I found my cat curled up asleep on my modelling tray and on top of this model - she'd broken off the guns and the antenna post - so rather than replace them I chose these markings as this aircraft had them removed - besides you don't normally see P-40s in the Day Fighter Scheme.
Owl - It goes together really nicely - the wing fit needed a bit of filler/sanding but otherwise its been a fun build.
Cheers

The decals are on - just a matt coat and some weathering to do!
I really like the P-40 in 'Day Fighter Scheme' - it really suits its.
Cheers!

That is a nifty, neat-o scheme. It does look good on the P-40.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Way to go on this. Decals look great!
