Title: Acadamy Tomahawk Hawk 81
Post by: swingcats on January 26, 2010, 08:39:24 PM
Hi Guys and Gals of the Warhawk Forum, I'm saying hello with a little 1/72 scale model of good old 68 Charles Older's plane of the AVG China 1942. The model is far form prefect, both before and after making, the model comes flat packed, i.e. the wings don't have the correct dihedral unless you make it so. Anyway here it is with a few inspirational photo's as well. The guy is 1/48 scale but stand him in front of the 1/72 scale plane and he gives great perspective. I run a page on Facebook for all P-40 nuts if you are interested, lots of pics.

Welcome to the forums, and nice job on Chuck's P-40!  I've not built the 72nd Academy kit but if I do I'll definitely watch for that dihedral.
