1/48 Hasegawa Kittyhawk

--------------------

 

This is my first submission here and I hope you like it.  It's Neville Dukes P-40 Kittyhawk.  I had just finished reading his book "Test Pilot" and it inspired me to build 2 of his aeroplanes (spity still in the pile to do). I started it last January and finished just before he sadly died at the beginning of April 2007. It represents AK578 in which he claimed 2 of his 28 kills. Downing 2 Macchi 200s on 14th February 1942. Stay tuned for the Spitfire Vb.

This Hasegawa kit was built straight from the box and I really enjoyed building it.  Only thing I didn't like were the rear quarter windows, I couldn't quite get them right.  But I'm happy with it..
