I don't know what happened to the pictures but if you click on them they will show up, I don't know why the one picture came uo so large.

thanks bob

awesome job! I salute you on onestunning example of a Tomahawk IIB. only hope mine turns out 1/2
as nice as yours.

Thank you P-40K. I still have more work to do on it. This was always one of my favorite aircraft , I hope it flys as good as my Yellow aircraft P-40E.

thanks bob

no doubt it will, Bates is a very good design. what engine are you using in your Tomahawk IIB?

I'am using a OS BGX with a 18x10 prop. I have one in my TOP-FLITE P-51 and it pulls it great. The P-40 weighs aprox. 22 lbs. I'am usung Sierra main gear and a B&D tail wheel retract , I was able to use a set up of ball links and threaded rod to activate the tail wheel doors. I had some perfect paint left so I used that for painting. I wish they were still around. It has a J-TEC wrap around muffler which fits great , and a best pilot. The Instrument panel and exhaust stacks are from Final Touch and the wheels are the old Byron wheels. The extension for the eng. was made by Gene Barton as whell as the spinner. Hope this answers most questions .

thanks bob

and then some.. thanks.

Very nice.
