Aussie P-40E Kittyhawk

by Francis Lee

Model: (1/48 scale)
Arii / Otaki P-40E Kittyhawk

I am glad that the decals of this model is still useable since I bought the model in around 1989. The decals have the Australian, British and the US Army to choose, I am thinking to use them all, first of all is the Aussie Hawk I just made.

Background:
The Kittyhawk was the main fighter used by the RAAF in World War II, in greater numbers than the Spitfire. Here I made a diorama of a crash landing of a P-40E, one landing gear leg was broken and the pilot was waiting for rescure. Not a gooday mate!
