This is my Kittyhawk Mk.III (P-40M) finished in marking of famous RAF 112.
"Shark" squadron. This particular machine served with this unit during 1944
in Italy. It was flown by Capt. Matt Mathias, who damaged a Fw 190F during
an air battle over Rieti in April 1944.

Building the Academy kit was pretty straightforward, however I have decided
  to add more details and I used CMK resin cockpit set. The decals comes
   partially from the kit and partially from a complementary decal sheet
   included in Kagero book dedicated to 112. squadron's history. I used
Aeromaster and Gunze acrylics throughout. The weathering was done using oil
                         paints and silver pencil.

   The Curtiss P-40 is one of my favourite aircraft, so I will add soon
 another one to my collection. This time it will be P-40B Tomahawk. Try to
                       guess in which camouflage...
