I have been so
inspired by the great submissions on this site that I am very pleased to submit
my first. In fact this is the first airplane kit I have done in about 20 yrs.
This is the Italeri kit that I built out of box and compared to what kits were
available in the late 70's early 80's this kit seemed very good to me. I chose
to build the US Army Air Corp version because it is a little disarming at first
- It appears the Brits told the Yanks to just leave their P-40's at home, they
were outclassed by what the Germans were flying. So I guess these planes suffer
from the "not invented by us" symdrome and the latter Mustangs and
Thunderbolts get all the publicity.
