That is a beautiful P40 you have there.

The P40 is my all time favorite… even as a kid in the 70’s. Then I was lucky enough when in college (80’s) our frat hired a cook… who happened to be one of the original flying tigers. He invited a few of us over to his house, his wife cooked us dinner and he got out his old flight jacket and photo album. I was very impressed. I have always had a P-40 (build a Guillows warhawk kit while at college even) and even scratch built the same only upsized the plans to accommodate a Fox .25 (vs. .049).




all that got me wanting to build profile war birds… so here i am today. LOL

I have all the ME109 ribs cut on my laser cutter… hopefully I’ll have some time this weekend to start assembly.




I am really impressed with the laser cutter… my plan is to have a library of old classic war birds from obsolete kits in my repertoire. Might even make the short kits available to others if there is an interest.
