Title: Curtiss P-40F Warhawk, Hasegawa, 1/72
Post by: Jicehem on October 13, 2015, 11:03:20 AM

Hello,

The P-40N of Hasegawa modified into a Curtiss P-40F Warhawk of the French Armée de l'Air. I chose this kit because of the elongated fuselage, a caracteristic feature of the F version. That plane was to be seen during the "14 Juillet" ceremony at Algiers-Maison Blanche in 1944. Contrary to what has been often written spinners were not red and the proof has been given by a color photograph taken during this ceremony. This date marked the rebirth of the Armée de l'air. The unit is GC La Fayette (two words in french language ans one word "Lafayette" for the Americans). The rendering of the undersurfaces "Azure Blue" by the digital picture is not good... Too flashy.
